buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk with vinegar

Low-fat yogurt provides a similar tangy flavor with fewer calories, while milk with vinegar is a budget-friendly substitute.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients, while cake flour is often less expensive.

1

Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a large bowl and whisk it until light and powdery.

2

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and whisk to combine.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the mixture and whisk well to ensure there are no pockets of saltiness.

4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients for the wet ingredients.

5

Pour in 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and add 2 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the well.

6

Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.

7

In a separate bowl, beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form and then gently fold them into the batter without overmixing.

8

Preheat the black and decker waffle iron and grease it with butter.

9

Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, close it, and let it cook until golden brown.

10

Remove the waffles and serve immediately with syrup.
