These homemade waffles are light and fluffy on the inside with golden, crisp edges. I usually make a large batch and keep them in the freezer for quick breakfasts. Just pop a frozen waffle straight into the toaster whenever you want one.
To freeze, arrange the cooled waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Transfer them to a resealable freezer bag or freezer-safe container. For best quality, use within 2–3 months.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ½ cup cooking oil
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In another medium bowl beat egg yolks slightly; stir in milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be slightly lumpy).
In a small bowl beat egg whites till stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold beaten egg whites into flour and egg yolk mixture, leaving few fluffs of egg white. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into preheated waffle maker.

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES: Prepare as above, except reduce flour to 1 1/2 cups. Add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/3 cup sugar to the flour mixture. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the egg yolk mixture.
