Ingredients for Best Waffles Ever

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 8 large eggs

How to Make Best Waffles Ever

1. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator at least 1 hour before preparing the waffles to bring them to room temperature.
2. Gently separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 2 cups milk (or buttermilk for a tangier flavor), 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. In a clean bowl, beat the 4 egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
7. Add about ¼ of the beaten egg whites to the batter and gently fold to lighten the mixture. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
8. Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
9. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.
10. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. The batter will spread.
11. Close the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
12. Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
13. Store leftover waffles in a freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
