Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions (or to 400°F if your waffle maker has a temperature gauge).
  2. Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. *see note
  5. Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently fold in the egg whites.
  6. Drop by large spoonfuls onto greased waffle iron until most of the wells are covered. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • To Make the Best Waffles
  • This recipe assumes you are using unsalted butter. If using salted butter, eliminate the salt ingredient.
  • Whipped egg whites makes the lightest, fluffiest waffles, but you can make this recipe without beating the egg whites. If you do not, then reduce the milk to 1 1/2 cups, and add whole eggs to the butter mixture.
  • Keep waffles warm in a 225°F oven while you make the remaining waffles.
  • Buttermilk Waffles: To make, replace milk with buttermilk, reduce baking powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons, and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. 
  • Don't overmix the batter, it should be slightly lumpy.
  • Preheat the waffle maker and lightly wipe with vegetable oil. Do not use cooking spray.
  • Put enough batter in the iron so the waffle compartment is almost full so it will cover the edges when closed.
