Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 tbsp Sugar (reduce for a lighter treat)
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large Eggs (separated; use egg replacers for a vegan alternative)
  • 1 cup Milk (any kind, including dairy-free options)
  • 4 tbsp Butter (melted; can swap with oil or applesauce)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (substitute with almond extract if desired)

Color and Decoration

  • 5 drops Green Food Coloring (adjust to reach desired shade)
  • 1 cup Sprinkles (preferably red and green)
  • 1 tbsp Gold Glitter

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and sweetness.
  2. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogeneous.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: Using a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step will help create a light and fluffy texture in the waffles.
  4. Fold Egg Whites into Batter: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the wet and dry ingredients mixture to maintain the airy texture without deflating the batter.
  5. Add Color: Incorporate the green food coloring into the batter, mixing gently until the desired festive shade of green is reached.
  6. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker to the lowest heat setting to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  7. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the waffle maker and cook until the waffles are just set, approximately 4-5 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through but still soft.
  8. Shape Waffles: Remove the cooked waffles and carefully break them apart to create Christmas tree shapes, playing up the festive theme.
  9. Decorate: Decorate the shaped waffles with red and green sprinkles and sprinkle gold glitter on top to add a dazzling festive touch.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute eggs with appropriate egg replacers and use dairy-free milk and butter alternatives.
  • Reduce sugar to lighten the sweetness according to preference.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rising of the waffles.
  • Use green food coloring gradually to avoid overly dark hues and to maintain an appetizing appearance.
  • Preheating the waffle maker properly is key to avoid sticking and achieve the ideal texture.
  • Decorative sprinkles and edible glitter are optional but add a festive visual flair perfect for Christmas celebrations.
