Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, this waffle is the perfect vessel for all your favorite toppings. Drizzle with maple syrup and melted butter, sprinkle with fresh berries and whipped cream, or even top with crispy fried chicken for the ultimate brunch mashup.

Instructions

1
Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg yolks. Whisk until the batter just comes together (there will be some lumps).
3
Add the egg whites to a medium bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until foamy. With the mixer running, gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
4
Spray the heated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle the batter into the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 5–6 minutes. Transfer the waffle to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
5
Serve the waffles hot, with butter and maple syrup alongside.
