Equipment
- Medium-large mixing bowl, preferably one with a spout
- Stand mixer with bowl, egg beater, or hand mixer with another mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- whisk
- Waffle Iron
- Fork
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, separated into yolks and whites
- 1 ¾ c milk
- ½ c 1 stick melted butter or vegan butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon/spices) in the mixing bowl and whisk well to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, or a mixing bowl attached to a stand mixer, whip your egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix, as eggs may separate and become soft again.
- Pour the remaining wet ingredients (egg yolks, milk, vanilla, melted butter) into the flour mixture and stir well to combine. Use your rubber spatula to occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl and ensure there are no hidden pockets of dry ingredients.
- Once your batter is smooth, use your rubber spatula to add the egg whites. Fold in the whites by stirring very slowly and carefully until the egg whites are mostly evenly dispersed in the batter. It’s okay if it turns out a touch lumpy - it means you’ve got nice fluffy air pockets.
- Turn your waffle on to your desired heat setting. (Note: in my experience, waffle irons work like toasters where the higher the heat the crispier and browner the waffle).
- Once your waffle iron is hot, spray each side with nonstick spray. Pour in your batter until it just reaches the edges of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5 minutes. (Note: cooking times will vary. See the instructions on your waffle iron for best results).
- Use a fork to pull your waffle off the hot iron and onto a plate. Serve and eat immediately with syrup, butter, berries, whipped cream, peanut butter, or your desired topping of choice!
Notes
For a vegan alternative, use non-dairy milk, aquafaba, and a flax egg.
