Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional

  • 2 egg whites

Instructions

  1. Preheat Appliances: Preheat your oven to its lowest temperature to keep waffles warm and crisply reheated. Also preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents and seasonings.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk, milk, melted unsalted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep waffles tender.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to whisk until soft peaks form, which will help create light and airy waffles.
  5. Fold in Egg Whites: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the waffle batter until just blended to maintain the airiness of the batter.
  6. Cook Waffles: Cook waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions. Once cooked, transfer each waffle directly to the oven rack to keep warm and enhance crispiness while cooking the remaining batter.
  7. Serve: Add your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream and enjoy your crispy, fluffy waffles.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; folding in the egg whites gently helps maintain the waffles’ crispiness and fluffiness.
  • Preheating the oven and placing cooked waffles on the oven rack keeps them warm and crisp without becoming soggy.
  • These waffles freeze well; cool completely before freezing in airtight bags. Reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispness.
  • Room temperature dairy and eggs help the batter mix more evenly.
  • Using cornstarch in the flour mixture increases the crisp texture of the waffles.
