Description

Get out the waffle iron. Once you’ve tried these homemade waffles, you will never go back to buying them again. I like to double the batch and put the leftover cooked waffles in a airtight container and in the freezer. When you need a fast breakfast, just pop them in the toaster and you have fresh hot waffles for breakfast! My favorite topping is watermelon and maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Eggs, Separated
  • 2 cups Milk Or Buttermilk
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅓ cups Canola Oil

Preparation

Beat egg whites until stiff. In a separate large bowl, put remaining ingredients and beat on low with a hand mixer until moistened. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth. By hand, gently fold in beaten egg whites. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto hot waffle iron. Cook until lightly browned. Serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Note: I like to double the recipe and put the leftovers in the freezer. When I double the recipe, I just use 1 litre of milk or buttermilk.

Some of my favorite toppings are: fresh fruit and whipping cream, watermelon and maple syrup. Yum yum!

Makes 8 waffles.

NOTE: There is only Baking Powder in this recipe and NOT Baking Soda. When the recipe was featured on the blog, for some reason the person added the Baking soda and my original recipe did not have that. I do not add Baking Soda to my recipe.

When this was posted to the blog, one of the pictures mentioned (in the caption) adding baking soda. I see that isn’t part of the original recipe. Do you recommend adding that as well? And if so, how much? TIA

We make waffles, from scratch every weekend! I can’t wait to try this. I made Emeril’s recipe for Belgian waffles and while delicious, so much work and dirty dishes! these look wonderful!

Yes, the egg yolks go in with the rest of the ingedients. Sorry if this wasnt clear in the directions above. Hope you enjoy the waffles!

While I like the taste of these waffles, they didn’t crisp up very well in my belgian waffle maker. Since bisquik ones crisp up perfectly, I can’t blame my waffle maker. I followed the recipe exactly. Any ideas??

The best waffle recipe I have found in a long time! Just as it says – light and crispy :) I added 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla – made the waffles nice and sweet!!

Soooooooo much better than bisquick . . . thank you for the great recipe. :) I added a couple dashes of cinnamon & sugar to make my honey’s favorite waffle (heart shaped of course).
