The Greatest Waffle Recipe Ever

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 egg whites

Directions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, then create a hollow in the middle.
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Mix in the milk and oil.
  3. Pour the yolk mixture into the dry ingredients in one addition. Stir only until the flour is dampened; the batter should still look bumpy.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks, with the tips pointing upright.
  5. Fold the beaten whites carefully into the flour and yolk batter, leaving a few puffs of egg white visible. Resist the urge to keep stirring.
  6. Ladle the batter into your waffle iron, taking care not to fill it too full.
  7. Serve with real maple syrup and unsalted butter.
