Instructions

Pre heat your waffle iron.
Seperate the eggs and add the two whites into a medium bowl and both yolks into a larger bowl.
Pro tip: Seperate the eggs while they are still chilly from the fridge. Yolks are still firm and less prone to break when cold.
Using a hand held electric beater, beat the egg whites (on high speed), until stiff and set aside.
Tip: Beat until the whites appear smooth and white cloud like.
Pro tip: Don't over beat the whites! Going past the stiff peak stage, the tiny bubbles will become too rigid and rupture, squeeing out the moisture contained in the whites, resulting in a meringue that weeps and breaks.
Add all remaining ingredients ( almond flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk and vanilla) along with the egg yolks. Using the same beater, beat the mixture for about one minute (begin low and increase speed), until thick and thoroughly combined.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites in three additions, until just combined. (Don't over mix)
Liberally grease you waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray. Make waffles (using ½ to ¾ cup batter per waffle) according to manufactures instructions, until deep golden brown (it took about 6 minutes in my waffle iron). Remove gently, as these are not sturdy like regular waffles.
Tip: Be gentle when removing from the iron as these are a super tender when hot. A few minutes of resting time on a wire rack will help them crisp up and firm!
Serve hot with maple syrup.

Notes

Grease the waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray before cooking each batch – This is extremely important when working with recipes without gluten.

Do not use almond meal instead.

Cook until deep golden brown for a crisp texture.

Be gentle when removing from the iron as these are a little delicate.

Don’t over mix – As with all baking recipes, DO NO OVER MIX the batter

Make sure the iron is pre heated before pouring the batter.
