Method
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly spray the plates with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour, 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder, 3 Tablespoons Sugar, 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- In a medium bowl, place the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set these aside for later.2 Large Eggs
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.2 Large Eggs, 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil, 2 Cups Milk, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pour the wet egg yolk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not over-mix the batter.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula. It is perfectly fine if the batter remains slightly lumpy.
- Pour the batter onto your hot waffle iron (roughly 3/4 cup depending on your machine size) and cook until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve your waffles immediately while hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Beating the egg whites until they form stiff peaks is the secret to that airy, restaurant-style interior. Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter to ensure the exterior gets that desirable crunch.
