Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
  • ¼ -⅓  cup (50-66g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar (sub with white sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) baking soda
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • cups (425ml) buttermilk (see notes for substitution)
  • ⅓ -½ cup (80-120g) butter , melted
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
  • whipped cream, berries, and syrup for serving

Instructions

  • Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and heat. Then heat oven to 200℉ (93℃) degrees to keep the waffles warm as you make the rest. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, granulated and brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • Mix egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix just until fully combined. Then beat egg whites until stiff and gently fold into batter.
  • Pour ¾-1 cup (more or less according to the manufacturer's directions) into the preheated waffle iron until golden brown. Mine took about 4 minutes - but cooking times vary. Again, check your manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Place the cooked waffles in the preheated oven while finishing the rest. Serve warm with homemade whipped cream and syrup or honey. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Let your batter rest for 15-30 minutes before making your waffles.
  2. Keep the batter on the slightly thinner side for lighter waffles.
  3. Don't overbeat the batter for light, fluffy waffles.
  4. To keep the waffles warm as you finish cooking the rest, preheat the oven to 200℉ (90℃) and place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
  5. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
