Ingredients
Instructions

- Beat egg yolks; add with milk into dry ingredients and mix.
- Beat until batter is smooth.
- Add melted butter and fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.
- Preheat iron and bake 3 to 4 minutes.
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 don't have baking powder, use 1 tsp of baking soda mixed with 1 tsp of vinegar as a substitute. Consider adding vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these waffles warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat. They also pair beautifully with Cardinal Chicken Salad for a savory brunch option. For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or blueberries directly into the batter before cooking.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, which will help restore their crispiness.
