Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, lightly floured

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the orange zest and the floured cranberries gently.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two additions. This step creates the fluffiness.
  8. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright flavors.

Notes

  • Lightly flouring the cranberries helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
  • For extra citrus flavor, you can add a teaspoon of orange extract along with the vanilla.
  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Waffles are best eaten right off the iron for maximum crispness.
