Golden Waffles

These waffles are golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I store them in plastic containers in the freezer for a quick breakfast on school mornings!

Makes 8 large waffles

Ingredients:

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• ¼ cup sugar 

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• 2 cups milk 

• ½ cup canola oil

• 2 large eggs, separated

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat your waffle iron. If you can choose settings, I recommend doing darker for a crispier waffle.

2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, egg yolks, and vanilla together.

4. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until they are completely blended and smooth, with no lumps remaining.

5. In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites on high speed until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

6. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle into the preheated iron. (The exact amount may vary based on the size and settings of your waffle maker, so feel free to adjust accordingly.) Cook following the manufacturer's guidelines, or until golden. Serve warm with butter, syrup, berries, whipped cream, or your preferred toppings.
