Directions
-
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and milk until combined.
-
Pour the wet yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Stir the oil into the batter until evenly incorporated.
-
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to overmix or deflate the air.
-
Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour approximately 2/3 cup of batter onto the center of the hot iron.
-
Close the iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron.

Remove waffles and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining batter.

Note
To ensure maximum fluffiness, ensure the egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks before folding them into the batter.
Do not open the waffle iron while cooking, as this can cause the waffles to stick or collapse.
Waffles are best served fresh. If reheating, use an oven or toaster oven at 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving, which will make them soggy.
For a richer flavor, substitute the oil with melted butter.
