Start by measuring out 3.5 cups of all-purpose gluten-free flour that contains xanthan gum.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of salt to the flour mixture and whisk gently to combine.

Separate 4 eggs into yolks and whites, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another.

Whisk the egg yolks until combined.

Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, being careful not to let any yolk mix in with the whites.

Measure out 3.5 cups of buttermilk and add it to the wet ingredients.

Add 1 cup of avocado oil to the wet ingredients.

Combine the whisked egg yolks with the wet ingredients and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Fold the beaten egg whites into the wet mixture gently to maintain airiness.

Preheat the waffle iron while preparing the batter.

Lightly grease the waffle iron with a stick of butter, spreading it across the surface.

Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it slightly to cover the surface.

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is done, noting that the first waffle may take longer than subsequent ones.

Remove the waffle with a fork and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serve the waffles warm, noting that they can be frozen for later use.
