- Preheat your waffle maker to a crisper setting, around 3.

- Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredients and mix gently.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, folding in the egg whites carefully to lighten the batter.
- Once the waffle maker is heated and ready, lightly grease if necessary.
- Pour about a third to two-thirds of a cup of batter onto the waffle iron, depending on its size.

- Carefully remove the waffle and place on a wire rack to stay crisp.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
