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