Pin This RecipeThe Best Homemade Fluffy Waffles
I’m just gonna say that these Fluffy Waffles are seriously the best waffles ever! Even better than the Waffle House! The best part is that they are really easy to make and taste SO much better than a box mix! The key to getting super fluffy waffles is to separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff. Folding in the egg whites gives the waffles a light and fluffy texture!! This is our favorite breakfast recipe for a weekend morning. I usually make a double batch because these things fly off the plate!
How to Make Fluffy Waffles Without Buttermilk
These waffles are super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, and vegetable oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
