Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and whisk gently to combine. Add one-third of the egg whites and stir gently with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining egg whites and fold gently with a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain.
- Cook according to the waffle maker’s instructions. Serve with your favorite waffle toppings; popular options are butter and syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Special Equipment: Belgian waffle maker
- Butter - Many recipes call for vegetable oil and I've tested this recipe using both. You can substitute vegetable oil, but I thought it gave the waffles a heavier feel and not as much flavor.
- Cinnamon - We LOVE this addition! It gives the waffles a little something extra in the flavor department, but you can omit it if you'd like.
- Milk - Use regular milk for this recipe, not buttermilk. Whole or 2% milk both work fine.
- Toppings: Our favorites include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit. If you want them for dessert or are celebrating a birthday, add some whipped cream or ice cream!
- Freezing: Allow them to cool completely, then wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, and freeze in a ziploc bag for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: Use a toaster oven or a wire rack placed on a baking sheet in the oven; bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes - the waffles should be hot and crisp!
