Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature; separated)
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable oil, for added crispness; optional, but good. Please Do Not use canola, as it imparts a weird taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons cornmeal (yellow cornmeal or cornstarch)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
How to Make
-
Step 1: Grease and preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks, buttermilk, butter and oil until well combined.
-
Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the dry ingredients.
-
Step 4: Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Don't beat the batter; it's unnecessary and will make for tougher waffles.
-
Step 5: Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold them into the batter.
-
Step 6: Bake the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions. To keep finished waffles crisp as you continue baking, place them in a preheated 200°F oven, directly on the rack.
-
Step 7: Yield: about 5 large (7") Belgian waffles; or 7 medium (5") square American-style waffles.
