Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs separated into 2 yolks and 2 egg whites
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Sift the dry ingredients into one bowl, melt the butter, and separate the eggs.
  • Stir the buttermilk, vanilla, and egg yolks in a bowl with a fork or whisk.
  • Gently combine the dry ingredients with the buttermilk, adding the butter at the end. Mix until just combined.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You can tell when they are stiff if the peaks stay still and don't fold over after you remove the whisk. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, mixing until almost combined. You don't want to over mix it since the egg whites are what make the waffles so light and fluffy.
  • Pour the batter into a hot, greased waffle iron and shut the lid. Cook until they are nice and brown and crispy.
