Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons of good-quality vanilla
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
- Set the butter in the microwave to melt (cover the butter to keep it from splatting the microwave as it melts).
- Add the milk and vanilla to the batter, then separate the eggs, putting the whites in a separate bowl and adding the egg yolks to the batter. Turn the waffle maker on to give it time to heat up.
- Stir the batter till it’s fairly smooth; it will be thick at this point.
- Now take the butter and stir the batter with one hand while drizzling the melted butter into it with the other hand. Keep stirring till the butter is all mixed in.
- Beat the egg whites on high with a mixer until they form stiff peaks. Fold the whites into the waffle batter.
- Spray the waffle maker with cooking spray and pour some of the batter into the hot waffle iron. For our new waffle iron, it takes about a cup of batter per waffle, but you might need to adjust the amount of batter for your waffle maker.
- Cook until the waffle is a lovely golden brown in color. Eat it while it’s hot, with a little butter on top and drizzled with syrup .. and if you are like me, some fresh fruit on top. My kids prefer their waffles plain.
Notes
You can cut the fat in this recipe by using 2 Tablespoons of butter and a Tablespoon or two of yogurt; however, the waffles won’t be as crisp.
