Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Mix the wet ingredients: Separate the eggs carefully. In a large measuring jug, whisk together the egg yolks, low fat buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and blended well.
Beat the egg whites: Using electric beaters, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. You will know they are ready when turning the bowl upside down does not cause the egg whites to fall out.
Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir a few times just to combine. Then add the beaten egg whites and carefully fold them into the batter until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture in the waffles.
Bake the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the iron to prevent sticking. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle, scooping it with a cookie scoop for neatness. Bake according to your waffle iron manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp.
Serve: Enjoy the waffles hot straight from the waffle iron for the crispiest texture. Serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or syrup.

Notes

Make sure to separate the eggs carefully to beat the whites properly.
Do not overmix the batter after adding egg whites to keep waffles fluffy.
Preheat the waffle iron before cooking to ensure even crisping.
Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup to portion batter evenly for uniform waffles.
Serve waffles immediately for best texture, as they crisp up upon cooling.
