Make the Fluffiest Waffles Ever
I’ll be honest. In the past I always used waffle mix to make waffles and then I would add yummy toppings to make them special. Over the past year or so my daughter and her boyfriend have been coming over for breakfast at our new home a lot and he has a serious nut allergy. Almost every waffle mix is made in a facility that processes tree nuts. So I have been experimenting with homemade waffle recipes. And let me tell you – it is SO easy to make your own waffle mix!! I don’t know why I used to buy waffle mix. Make the Fluffiest Waffles Ever
Make the Fluffiest Waffles Ever!
Here is the YUMMIEST recipe to make the FLUFFIEST waffles. You are not going to ever go back to pre-mixed waffle mix after you have made your own waffles. SERIOUSLY.
These waffles are so light and so flavorful. Here are the two tips to the FLUFFIEST waffles — whipping the egg whites and folding them into your batter, AND butter. That is it! The waffles are fluffy on the inside and a little bit crisp on the outside (I think due to the butter and cornstarch).
We had these for Easter Brunch and they were SO good. Then the day after Easter I warmed them up for my kids’ breakfast – and they were still SO good!! YUM!
Recipe for the Fluffiest Waffles Ever:
Note – these are sweet waffles and you can serve them with syrup or also with fruit and powdered sugar, depending on your taste.

Also, I used my favorite waffle maker that I found on Amazon.

So the waffles are smaller and turned out perfectly. If you are using a standard belgian waffle maker, you may need to adjust the heat down and cook them a little longer because of the butter and sugar are higher than a waffle mix recipe. Just an observation we have made.

No where in the instructions of your waffles does it say when to add the butter.
Jen says
Hi Marie —
You add the butter with the first ingredients, mix them well then fold in the 3ggs whites. That’s what makes the waffles fluffy.
