  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk (or whole milk)

Instructions

    In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites:
    Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form.

    Heat the waffle iron for 5 minutes and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or oil.
  6. Cook the Waffles:
    Pour batter onto the waffle iron, spreading evenly. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Transfer waffles to a cooling rack and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra crispy waffles, use cold buttermilk and butter.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light texture.
  • To keep waffles crispy, place them on a cooling rack instead of stacking.
