Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Whole milk (or any non-dairy substitute)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 eggs Large eggs, separated
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not already included in the gluten-free flour blend)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
• 0 Fresh berries or maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula. This step ensures light and fluffy waffles.

Step 6

Preheat your Belgian waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly if needed. Close the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm, optionally topped with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or maple syrup.
