Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

2 cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
½ cup unsalted butter melted
2 large eggs separated
nonstick spray for waffle iron

Instructions

Heat waffle iron while mixing batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter and egg yolks. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Batter will be on the thicker side, but will fluff up after adding egg whites. If the batter is extremely thick, add a bit more buttermilk to thin it out.
In a small bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
Spray waffle iron with nonstick spray. Pour batter into waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron specifications.
Serve hot with favorite toppings.

Notes

Use your favorite types of flour to change up the flavor a bit. To use all Kamut flour, use 205g of flour (slightly less than two full cups). Another favorite flour combination is to use half all purpose flour and half whole wheat flour (Use one cup, 120g of each).
Before adding beaten egg whites, if batter is too thick to stir with ease, add 1-2 Tablespoons of buttermilk to thin. Note that the batter will thin a bit and have a fluffier texture after adding the beaten egg whites.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can add 1 Tablespoon of vinegar to 1 cup of 2% or whole milk. Allow it to sit 5 minutes before using.
