Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, large seperated
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 ¾ cups whole milk

Instructions

Pre heat your waffle iron according to manufactures instructions.
Mix first all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and beat with a hand-held electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, and melted butter using the same electric mixer (on the lowest setting) until lightly foamy. Pour the mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the egg whites until just combined.
Grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour ⅓ to ½ cup of batter onto the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions—usually, about 5 to 6 minutes per waffle.
Serve waffles hot with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Notes

Cook the waffles until they’re a deep golden brown for guaranteed crispiness! In my waffle iron, it took about 6 to 7 minutes.

Be sure it's fully heated before pouring in the batter.

Grease the waffle iron to prevent sticking. I prefer using non-stick cooking spray for an easy, mess-free release.
