Ingredients
  

Waffle Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs separated
  • 1.5 cups milk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla Glaze
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Equipment

  • Waffle iron
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Hand mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your waffle iron. Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep cooked waffles warm.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Separate eggs. Whisk yolks with milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and mix gently.
  4. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the batter.
  5. Pour batter onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp (about 4-5 minutes).
  6. While waffles cook, whisk glaze ingredients until smooth.
  7. Serve waffles warm, drizzled generously with glaze and dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

Keep waffles warm in the oven on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy while you finish the batch. Leftovers freeze well.
