Learn all the secrets to making fluffy homemade waffles. A tried and true family favorite, this homemade waffle recipe is perfect any time!
Servings: 12 waffles
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs separated, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- Whipping cream, fresh berries, maple syrup optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium high heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl beat the egg whites until peaks form. I use an electric mixer for this.
- In a separate medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and buttermilk.
- Gently fold the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients using a large rubber spatula.
- Then gently fold in the egg whites.
- Lightly spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into each 1/4 section of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes until golden. This may vary depending on your waffle maker.
- Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack, and repeat the process with the rest of the batter.
Notes
Storage: Store waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing: To freeze, I recommend either wrapping individually, or at least placing parchment paper between then to keep them from sticking together. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for up 4-6 months.
Reheating: You can reheat either in the microwave or toaster, but I definitely recommend the toaster. You can also reheat in an air fryer if you have one.
