    The Best Waffle Recipe Ever (Fluffy, Crispy & Delicious!)

    Published: Dec 11, 2018 · Modified: Dec 11, 2021 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 25 Comments

    Get my recipe for the best waffles ever - they're crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and they have a slightly sweet and deliciously buttery taste.

    The Best Waffles Recipe Ever

    I've been making waffles for years and years now, and my waffle recipe has slowly been perfected over time. Waffles are one of our family's favourite breakfast or brunch foods, and with Christmas coming up they'll probably end up on our Christmas morning menu.

    The Best Waffles Recipe Ever

    This recipe is part of the Seasonal Simplicity recipe blog hop hosted by Krista of The Happy Housie, so after you've had a look at my recipe, make sure to check out all of the other Christmas recipes linked at the bottom of this post for more yummy ideas!

    The Best Waffles Recipe Ever

    My recipe started from a Company's Coming recipe book, and I've tweaked a couple of things to make it just right.

    These waffles turn out delicious and fluffy every time, and there are a couple of tricks that I think make them perfect.

    The Best Waffles Recipe Ever

    The most important trick, in my opinion? It's separating the egg yolks from the whites, beating the whites until they're fluffy, and then folding them into the waffle batter right before the waffles are cooked. The next little thing that makes these waffles so yummy is adding a mix of butter and canola oil to the batter as the fat. The butter gives the waffles their delicious taste, and the oil gives them their lightness.

    Your waffle iron is important, too. We have this Breakfast Central machine and it makes giant waffles with the perfect shape and thickness.

    Ready to try my recipe? Here it is! This makes 10 very large waffles, so halve the recipe if you're using a smaller waffle iron or have a less hungry waffle-eating family than ours.

    The Best Waffles Recipe Ever

    To make my stack of waffles feel extra special and a little festive for a Christmas morning breakfast or brunch idea, I garnished it with some homemade sugared cranberries and sprigs of rosemary.
