Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat waffle iron. Whisk butter and milk together. Sift flour into mixture, and whisk until smooth; stir in sugar, salt and vanilla.

  2. Step 2

    Beat egg whites until they hold firm, glossy peaks. Fold batter gently into whites. Batter will be very thin.

  3. Step 3

    Pour batter onto grids. Bake 2 minutes; turn, and bake until golden. Serve dusted with sugar and ice cream, if desired.

Wish wed read the reviews first

These were a total disaster. We have cooked so many NYT recipes and never occurred to us to check the reviews to see if this one was reliable. It wasn’t. Agree with the reviewer who said that something is fundamentally wrong with the recipe. Waffles did not rise. They were a flat, soggy mess that burned where they touched the indents in the waffle maker.

Michael

Even extending this recipe with more milk and flour barely yielded three waffles. The dog was disappointed.

Brianne

This recipe should be removed. It does not make waffles. The rating is very misleading. It makes flat, butter sheets that don’t cook through. Very bizarre.

tktko

I think the flour measurement is wrong, or missing a number. 1 1/2 cups would be more appropriate

Anzley

These came out crazy. More like funnel cakes than waffles. Would’ve been fine for dessert but not what I was looking for this morning.

Michael

I don’t know how this recipe got 4 stars. The proportions are off, and it doesn’t produce anything resembling a proper waffle.
