Servings: 8 Belgian Style
Calories: 352kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs separated
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 170°F and heat up the waffle iron. Mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Measure the buttermilk, milk, and vegetable oil in a measuring cup and stir in the egg yolk. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white almost to soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until the peaks are firm and glossy. Beat in the vanilla. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed. Drop the egg white onto the batter in dollops and fold in with a spatula until just incorporated. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and smooth out slightly. Cook until the waffle is crisp and brown. Or your desired doneness. Set the waffle directly on the oven rack to keep it warm and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter, holding the waffles in the oven (don’t stack them). When all the waffles are cooked, serve immediately.
Notes
These freeze great! Separate into halves or quarters and freeze in freezer bags separated by parchment paper. Toast when ready to eat.
If mixing your own buttermilk and you find the batter is too thin, sprinkle on a Tablespoon or two of flour and fold in. You want the consistency of thick pancake batter.
I use a Belgian style waffle iron. Using a thinner waffle iron will yield more waffles usually.
