Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron.

  2. Separate eggs and set yolks aside.Place egg whites in a medium bowl. Use a mixer to whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. (This means, when you lift the mixer out of the bowl the egg whites will stand on end like a white mohawk).

  3. Combine flour, corn starch, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until mixture is completely combined.

  4. Add egg yolks, buttermilk, butter and extracts to dry ingredients. Beat mixture together with a whisk until combined. Do not over mix, there should still be lumps in the batter.

Chef's Notes

Donna’s NotesThe batter will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Store batter covered and whisk well before using.
To freeze: Cool waffles completely and flash freeze on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or skip that step and go straight to –>) and place in a resealable zipper bag. Remove from freezer and reheat in toaster. This may take 1 or 2 toasting cycles depending on your toaster. Or reheat in a 350 degree oven (or toaster oven) for 10-15 minutes.
If you are in a super hurry you can short cut the egg whites step and just mix it all in the bowl, but honestly it is worth the extra 5 minutes.

This recipe is awesome! I had never used corn starch in my waffles before but they turned out great! It gives them such a wonderful crisp outside while still being fluffy inside!
