- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs separated
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In one large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Next whisk in egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla extract.
Beat remaining egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold stiff egg whites into batter.
Heat waffle maker, spray maker with non-stick spray and prepare waffles according to manufacturer's instructions.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Beating the Egg Whites. The goal here is stiff peaks. This means that your egg whites should stand up into straight peaks when you pull the mixer up.
Use a Stand Mixer or Electric Mixer. It will take forever to get stiff peaks by hand so I highly recommend using one of these options to save time.
Make Sure The Waffle Iron Is Hot. This creates those crispy edges but also helps prevent the waffles from sticking.
Don't Forget to Spray Your Waffle Iron. This way your waffles will easily release when they're done cooking.
Do Not Over Mix the Waffle Batter. You want crispy tender waffles. Like other baked goods, waffles can end up a little tough if you mix too much. You also want to avoid deflating the egg whites.
