Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.75 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0 Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have a few small lumps.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a silicone spatula. Fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites; the batter should be light and airy.

Step 6

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 7

Pour the batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron using a ladle or measuring cup, ensuring you do not overfill. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy (about 3–5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron).

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm by placing them on a wire rack or in a low-temperature oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your desired toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, syrup, or powdered sugar.
