Ingredients
1½
cups flour
½
cups cornstarch
2
tbsp cornmeal
1
tbsp baking powder
1
tsp salt
3
large eggs (separated)
2
tbsp sugar
1¾
cups milk
½
tsp vanilla extract
½
cups butter (melted)
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
With a mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk and vanilla.
Using a rubber spatula, stir milk mixture into flour mixture until all ingredients are moistened (do not over-mix, batter may have small lumps). Stir in the butter and fold in beaten egg whites until combined.
Pour batter onto preheated and greased waffle iron. Waffles should be golden and crispy after 3-5 minutes on high (different waffle irons may vary, so check your first batch closely).
