  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the waffles with a little melted butter before serving.
  • If you don’t have pecans, walnuts also work well.
  • You can add a tablespoon of maple syrup directly into the batter for a stronger maple flavor.
