Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together.

- Beat egg yolks until thick.
- Add sugar and milk to the egg yolks; beat well.

Tips & Substitutions
For lighter waffles, ensure the egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you run out of milk, water can be used as a substitute, but the flavor may be affected. Consider adding vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these waffles warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream. They pair beautifully with Donna'S Strawberry Stuff for a delightful breakfast or brunch. For a savory twist, try adding crispy bacon or smoked sausage on the side. A dollop of yogurt can also enhance the flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It's best to prepare the batter just before cooking for optimal fluffiness. However, you can separate the eggs and store the yolks and whites separately in the fridge for a few hours, then combine them when ready to cook to maintain the texture.
What can I use instead of eggs in this recipe?
For a vegan alternative, you can replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water). Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly.
How can I make these waffles gluten-free?
To make gluten-free waffles, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture may differ slightly, but they will still be delicious!
