Many of our readers have asked if you can make the recipe with buttermilk. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk, and then beat the egg white until stiff peaks form and fold it into the batter. For the lightest, fluffiest waffles, separate the egg. One egg adds tenderness and provides structure.If you don’t have lemon juice or vinegar, use plain milk. When I have buttermilk in the house, I use it, but when I don’t, a combination of milk and a little lemon juice or vinegar mimics buttermilk. Milk or buttermilk is the liquid in the batter.You can experiment with this yourself simply use the same amount of melted butter as the oil called for in the recipe. I’ve tried melted butter, and while it does add a buttery flavor, I prefer the texture with oil. Vegetable oil is my go-to fat for these waffles.I keep the sugar amount low since I love pouring maple syrup on top, but you can increase the sugar for sweeter waffles. Sugar, salt, and vanilla extract help the waffles taste great.For the lightest waffles, I recommend using both. Baking powder and baking soda help the waffles rise and brown.Cornstarch guarantees that the waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender. Cornstarch is our secret ingredient for making the crispiest waffles.Of course, you can substitute whole grain flours like whole wheat or spelt flour, but expect them to be a little denser. It keeps the waffles light on their feet. All-purpose flour is my go-to flour for this recipe.Everyone loves these waffles.Let me walk you through what you will need so you can say goodbye to flavorless, floppy waffles and hello to waffles that are light and crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. This is just the absolute perfect recipe. She put blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. My sister, who is EXTREMELY picky came by today and had leftover waffles from the batter I made last night. My niece adds all sort of fruit and whipped cream to hers, and she loves it. I personally am a strictly strawberries and (HOMEMADE and LIGHTLY sweetened) whipped cream girl. YUM.Ĥ) Both baking soda and baking powder help to give it rise, and the baking soda also makes it a tiny bit more salty.ĥ) The beaten egg whites not only help give it even more light and fluffy volume, but they also help to make it more of a crispy golden on the outside. So much good, buttery flavor.Ģ) No sugar! You can add sweet to these on top, but on their own they are buttery, not sweet. I realize now all of the reasons that make this one better than ANY other:ġ) Butter, not oil = YUM.
I have a hand mixer now, and the whisking of the egg whites only took about 2 minutes. This year, I searched everywhere until I found this recipe again.
The third year, I ran out of time and money, so I just used a boxed mix, which was "okay," but nothing special. So much so that I chose this recipe deliberately again the following year for our newly-annual "Christmas Waffles and Elf" day that I started with my niece. She asked what I was doing and I told her, and she then realized she had directed me to the wrong recipe! I finally got them beaten stiff, and I folded them in. I didn't have access to a hand mixer that day, so as I was painfully and exhaustingly whisking the egg whites by hand, I eventually began to grumble about it. I found this one using her directions, and set about to make them for her and my niece. I found them by accident 4 years ago when my sister told me where to find the recipe she recommended. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They are the best!
