Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- Grated zest of 4 lemons, plus the juice of 2 lemons
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large egg yolks, plus 4 egg whites
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1 stick salted butter, melted
- Cooking spray
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions
- Step 1Preheat a waffle iron. Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, lemon zest and salt into a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir gently until halfway combined. Pour in the melted butter and gently mix until combined.
- Step 2In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, stopping when there are still a few white streaks.
- Step 3Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray. Working in batches, scoop the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until crisp.
- Step 4For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the waffles.
