Ingredients

Optional Toppings: Berries, maple syrup, chocolate spread, nut butter, jam, buttermilk syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, caramel

Instructions

Dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 3 Tablespoons sugar, 1 Tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Wet ingredients. Place 2 egg yolks into a small bowl. Then whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Then stir into the flour mixture.
Beat egg whites. Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Then fold into the batter. Do not over mix.
Preheat your waffle iron on medium-heat, then spray with non-stick spray. Add about 1/2 cup of the batter to the grid and cook until the waffle iron goes off, about 3 minutes.

To add a special touch, you can mix in 1/4-1/2 cup Belgian pearl sugar.
