Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 /4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 /4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 /4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1/2 /2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (if using salted butter, omit the salt)
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat waffle maker. If using a nonstick pan there's no need to oil it but if you're not, oil the inside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, butter, eggs yolks, and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Lumps are fine.
  3. Beat remaining egg whites for 3-4 minutes with a mixer or by hand until white soft peaks have formed. Gently fold into batter.
  4. Cook in preheated waffle maker using enough batter according to the size of the waffle maker (around 1/2 cup of batter usually). Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Make batter and store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Waffles are great for freezing for a quick breakfast. To reheat, toast in a toaster or air fryer to get it crispy.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°F and place a baking pan in the oven. As the waffles are finished cooking, place them on the baking pan to stay warm while you make the remaining waffles.
