Calories: 330kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend with xanthan gum
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs divided
- 1 ¾ cup whole milk see notes
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. *see note
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently fold in the egg whites.
- Let the batter rest while you preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions or to 400°F if your waffle maker has a temperature gauge.
- Drop large spoonfuls onto greased waffle iron until most of the wells are covered. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Belgian waffle makers will cook closer to 5 minutes while smaller models like the one in the photos will be closer to 3 minutes.
Notes
Buttermilk Waffles: To make buttermilk waffles, reduce baking powder to 1 ½ teaspoons and add ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Replace milk with buttermilk.
Dairy-Free Waffles: Use a dairy-free milk and vegan butter.
Egg Free Waffles: Use Bob's Red Mill egg replacer. The waffles will be lightly less airy.
Egg Whites: For the fluffiest waffles, beat the egg whites and fold them into the mixture. However, you can also make this recipe without beating the egg whites. In that case, use only 1 ½ cups of milk and incorporate the whole eggs directly into the butter mixture.
