  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour ((270g))
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar ((50g))

Method

11 steps
  1. Preheat your waffle maker to a crisper setting, around 3.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a medium bowl and the whites in a smaller bowl.
  4. Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix gently.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, folding in the egg whites carefully to lighten the batter.
  7. Once the waffle maker is heated and ready, lightly grease if necessary.
  8. Pour about a third to two-thirds of a cup of batter onto the waffle iron, depending on its size.
  9. Close the waffle maker and cook until steam dissipates and the waffle is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  10. Carefully remove the waffle and place on a wire rack to stay crisp.
  11. Repeat with remaining batter.
