Preheat your waffle iron.
Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and set aside.
Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside.
Pour milk into 2 cup glass measuring cup or small bowl. Add in vanilla extract and stir to combine. Separate eggs, adding the yolks to the milk/vanilla mixture and stirring to combine and putting the whites into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until soft peaks form. At this point, you’ll have four different bowls of ingredients.
Add your milk mixture then the melted butter to the dry ingredients, using a wire whisk to combine. Then use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the fluffed egg whites, leaving some of the fluffiness.
Then just cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions and serve immediately.
*If you accidentally get some of the yolk into your egg whites, they won’t form soft peaks regardless of how long you try to whip them so if that happens, just skip whipping the egg whites and add the eggs whole to your milk mixture. Your waffles won’t fluff up quite as much, but will still taste amazing.
