Classic Fluffy Egg Waffles

The secret to the perfect waffle lies in contradiction: crispy outside, fluffy inside. Melted butter in the batter and the right amount of baking powder guarantee this. The grid structure isn't just design: it traps as much honey or syrup as possible.

Instructions

1

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Tip: Always mix baking powder into dry flour first for even rising.
2

Separate eggs. Mix yolks with milk and melted (not hot!) butter. Pour into flour and mix until smooth.

Tip: Adding hot butter coagulates eggs. Let batter rest 5-10 mins to hydrate flour.
3

Whip egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into batter.

Tip: The foam gives light structure. Skipping this yields heavy pancakes, not waffles.
4

Heat waffle iron. Grease lightly, add batter, and bake until golden (approx 3-4 mins).

Tip: Don't open in first 2 minutes or waffle will tear!
5

Remove and cool on a rack.
