Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until well incorporated.
5. Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions.
6. Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle, depending on the size of your iron.
7. Close the waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately, or keep them warm on a wire rack in a preheated oven (200°F/93°C) while cooking the remaining waffles.
9. Serve the waffles with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings, such as berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
