• Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Preheat oven to 250℉.
• Carefully, divide the egg yolks and whites from 2 large eggs, making sure not to get any yolk in the whites. Place the whites in a large mixing bowl, and the yolks in another bowl. Whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff.

Prepare the Batter

• In a medium batter bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Form a hole in the center with a spoon.
• Using a glass measuring dish, combine the egg yolks, 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix to incorporate.
• Add liquids to the center of the dry ingredients, and mix with a fork or spatula just until blended.
• Carefully fold in stiffly beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of batter in a preheated waffle baker, and cook as directed by the appliance instructions.
• Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven until ready to serve. Serve waffles with butter and your favorite maple syrup.
• This recipe will make six 9-inch waffles.
