| Yield: | 8 waffles |
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, separated, plus 2 additional egg whites
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted, plus softened butter, for serving
- Warm syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron to the regular setting.
- Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla and 2 egg yolks. Pour over the dry ingredients and very gently stir until halfway combined. Pour in the melted butter and continue mixing very gently until combined.
- In a separate bowl using a whisk (or a mixer), beat the 4 egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold them into the batter, stopping short of mixing them all the way through.
- Scoop the batter into your waffle iron in batches and cook according to its directions (lean toward the waffles being a little deep golden and crisp!). Serve immediately with softened butter and warm syrup.

Reviews
Definitely worth beating the whites—so fluffy!
I lottery love it!
These waffles were fluffy and delicious! My grandkids loved them. Easy to do!
Love these! They taste like funnel cakes with powdered sugar – without putting anything on them!
I thought that whipping and folding the egg whites seemed frivolous. WRONG. These are the best waffles I’ve had in years! They were also popular with my family!
Idk man.. I’ve had some thick waffles, some airy waffles, some crunchy and crisp waffles.. this recipe combines EVERY element you could ever want! I was thoroughly impressed and cannot wait to make them again.
Tasty recipe that’s hard to go wrong! Sugar can be reduced. I add a bit of rose water for more flavor.
Super good!
Good waffle! Will certainly get the job done, but not amazing.
Perfection! Such an easy recipe, and great results.
