How to Make Everyday Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly spray the grids with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently set the egg whites aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs yolks, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. In a third bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites until just a few streaks of white remain.
  8. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 3-5 minutes), until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!
