Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg yolks lightly beaten
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 2 egg whites stiffly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Equipment

  • A good belgian waffle maker.

Method
 

  1. Sift together the dry ingredients.
  2. Combine the egg yolks, milk, and oil in a medium bowl.
  3. Stir in the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks develop. A handheld beater works well. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter and leave a few fluffs.
  5. Bake at 375°F for about 5 minutes or until the steam almost stops. If you’re making waffles for a crowd, store cooked waffles on a wire rack in a warm, 200°F oven until ready to serve.
  6. Freeze leftover waffles and reheat them in a hot waffle iron until warm (about 3 minutes).

Notes

A good belgian waffle iron with the ability to control the temperature is a must.  However, don’t trust the temperature setting on the waffle iron, they are notoriously inaccurate.  Use an infrared thermometer to directly measure the temperature of the waffle iron grid.
