In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
In 2 separate bowls, separate the yolks and the whites of your eggs. Put your egg whites into a bowl big enough to whip them in.
Into the bowl with your egg yolks, add the milk and oil. Give them a good whisk, but the oil will not fully incorporate with your milk.
2 large egg yolks, 1 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup light oil
Combine the egg yolk mixture with the dry ingredients. You will stir them until no dry bits remain. There will still be small lumps, but there should not be large clumps.
In the egg white bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. To check this, pull your beater straight up out of the egg whites. If a peak forms that does not bend over, you have stiff peaks. If your peak leans over at all, you aren't there yet.
2 large egg whites
Gently fold your stiff white egg whites into your batter. Don't over stir this! You may have small white bits visible and that's ok.
Spray your waffle maker with oil and scoop some batter into the waffle maker covering about half of the waffle impression. These will puff up and fill the space while baking. Lighter waffles take 2-3 minutes, darker ones can take up to 5, depending on your waffle maker. Carefully pull your hot waffle from the waffle maker and top with your favorite toppings.
