Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, divided (room temperature)
- 1 1/3 cups (320 milliliters) milk
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the waffle iron to its optimal heat setting, ensuring a consistent temperature for perfect golden waffles.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry foundation.
- Carefully separate egg yolks from whites, dedicating a clean bowl to whipping the whites into voluminous, stiff peaks that will provide airiness to the batter.
- Create a separate mixture combining egg yolks, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and well-integrated.
- Merge the liquid ingredients with the dry mixture, using gentle strokes to combine without overmixing, which could deflate the potential lightness.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped egg whites into the batter, folding with a soft touch to maintain the airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Ladle the prepared batter into the preheated waffle iron, distributing evenly and cooking until the exterior achieves a crisp, golden-brown surface with a delicate, fluffy interior.
- Transfer the freshly crafted waffles to a serving plate, presenting them warm and inviting, ready to be adorned with an array of delectable toppings like fresh fruits, maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Separate eggs carefully to ensure no yolk gets into the egg whites, which prevents them from whipping properly.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy, stopping when ingredients are just combined.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother blending and more consistent texture in the final waffle.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar structure and taste.
