Nani's Crispy and Fluffy Waffles
These waffles have a wonderful crunch on the outside and stay light and airy on the inside.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about waking up to the smell of homemade waffles. This recipe is my favorite because it hits that perfect balance of textures that everyone loves for a cozy weekend breakfast.
The secret is whipping your egg whites until they are stiff before folding them into the batter. This simple step makes the waffles incredibly light instead of dense. Be sure to let your waffle iron get nice and hot before you pour the batter in to get that golden crust.
