Servings 12 waffles
Calories 168kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups buttermilk (well shaken, not fat free)
- 6 Tbsp salted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
- maple syrup, jam, butter and assorted fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolks, butter and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients mixing just until fully moistened.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter. Batter will be lumpy.
- Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on size.
- Close iron cooking until waffles have crisp and golden exteriors, about 5 minutes or according to manufacturer recommendation.
- Cook waffles in batches. Repeat spraying the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed. Keep waffles warm between batches in a 200°F oven in a single layer on a sheet pan, until serving.
- Serve immediately with butter, drizzled with syrup or with jam and fresh berries.
