Whipping the Egg Whites
A crucial step in achieving the perfect waffle is whipping the egg whites. Ideally, a hand mixer is recommended for this task, as it provides the necessary aeration for your batter. If you want to challenge yourself, you can whip the egg whites by hand. Although this is more labor-intensive, it offers a unique experience.
Once whipped, gently fold the egg whites into your batter. You may notice steam rising from the mixture—this is a good sign that your waffles will be fluffy and light when cooked.
