- 1 3/4 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder (Gluten Free)
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 3/4 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs (separated)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (optional) until well combined.
- Blend Wet Ingredients:
-
Separate the eggs into two bowls, in one bowl you should only have egg whites, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
-
Pour the wet ingredients (egg yolk blend) into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until just incorporated. This will help add lightness and fluffiness to the batter.
-
- Rest the Batter:
Allow the waffle batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes while you preheat your waffle iron. This resting period allows the gluten-free flour to hydrate and helps achieve a lighter texture in the waffles.
- Heat the Waffle Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Cook the Waffles:
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (this will vary depending on the size of your waffle iron) and spread it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Keep Warm:
Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and serve immediately, or keep warm in a preheated oven until ready to serve. (See Notes)
Repeat with the remaining batter, cooking one waffle at a time.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-inside waffles with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or melted butter.

Keeping Waffles Warm:
-
To keep waffles warm while cooking additional batches or before serving, you can set your oven to a low temperature, typically around 200°F (93°C) to 250°F (121°C). Placing the cooked waffles on a baking sheet in the preheated oven will help keep them warm without overcooking or drying them out.
-
Using a foil tent can also work well to keep waffles warm. Simply cover the stack of cooked waffles loosely with aluminum foil to trap some of the heat and prevent them from cooling too quickly. Be sure not to wrap the foil too tightly, as this could cause the waffles to become soggy.
-
Whether you choose to use the oven or a foil tent, it's essential to monitor the waffles closely to prevent them from becoming too dry or losing their crispiness. Rotate the waffles occasionally and check for any signs of overcooking. With proper care, your waffles should stay warm and delicious until they're ready to be served.
