The Most Amazing Waffles You’ve Ever Tried

Because life's too short for boring breakfast! 🧇

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch (the secret to crispiness!)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs (separated)
1 3/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (the surprise ingredient!)

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, oil, and both extracts until smooth.
Here’s the game-changer: In a clean bowl, beat those egg whites until stiff peaks form. (No, don’t skip this step – it’s what makes these waffles life-changing!)
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Some lumps are your friends here!
Gently fold in those beautiful whipped egg whites. Don’t overmix – we’re going for fluffy, not flat!
Preheat your waffle iron until it’s nice and hot.
Pour batter onto the iron (about 3/4 cup for a large waffle) and cook until golden brown and crispy.

Make it dairy-free: Use your favorite non-dairy milk
Make it fancy: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients
Make it ahead: Batter can be made the night before (just fold in egg whites before cooking)
