Nothing beats fluffy homemade waffles! These waffles are extra fluffy with a crisp exterior.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 large eggs divided
• 1 ⅔ cups milk
• ⅓ cup melted butter or oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions (or to 400°F if your waffle maker has a temperature guage).
• Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. *see note
• Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently fold in the egg whites.
• 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

I use unsalted butter. If your butter is salted, skip the salt in this recipe.

Egg Whites:  Beating the egg whites and folding them in makes the fluffiest waffles. This recipe can be made without beating the egg whites as well. If you do not beat the egg whites, reduce milk to 1 1/2 cups, and add whole eggs to the butter mixture.

To Keep Warm if Making Batches:  Preheat the oven to 225°F and place a baking pan in the oven. As the waffles are finished cooking, place them on the baking pan to stay warm while you make the remaining waffles.

Buttermilk Waffles: To make buttermilk waffles, reduce baking powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Replace milk with buttermilk.

Tips for the Best Waffles

• Don't overmix the batter, it should be lumpy.
• Preheat the waffle maker and lightly oil with vegetable oil. Do not use cooking spray.
• Put enough batter in the iron so the waffle is almost full, it will run out to the edges a little bit.
