📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with non-stick cooking spray right before adding the batter.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Dry Ingredients. Set aside.
3
Separate the egg whites into a large mixing bowl, and the egg yolks into a medium mixing bowl.
4
Whisk the YOLKS with the buttermilk, vegetable oil, butter, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the Dry Ingredients, and whisk just until combined (it should be lumpy). Set aside.
(250g) all-purpose flour2 cupsbuttermilk (See Notes for sour milk)2 cupsvanilla extract1 tablespoon
5
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with 1 tablespoon sugar using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form—the peaks should stand straight up when the beaters are lifted. Be careful not to overbeat, or the egg whites can become dry and difficult to fold in.
(250g) all-purpose flour2 cupscup granulated sugar1/4sugar1 tablespoon
6
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter just until combined; the batter should remain light, airy, and slightly lumpy.
7
Let the batter rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes (hydrates the flour for better rise and texture).
8
Spoon the batter into your waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions. Cook until deeply golden, not just done, that's where the crisp happens.
9
Transfer waffles to individual plates - do not stack for ultimate crispiness. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, and berries.
