How to Make Lemon Waffles

  1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add the zest of 1 large lemon to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 3 large egg yolks until smooth.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually whisk in the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  9. Lightly grease your waffle iron (if needed). Ladle 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
  10. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as pure Canadian maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.
