Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Yolks enrich the batter and whipped whites lighten it, helping the waffles rise and stay tender.
Baking powder
Releases gas in the batter, causing the waffles to rise and become light.
Flour
Provides the main structure that holds the waffle together as it sets.
Butter
Adds fat for richness and a tender texture, and helps browning in the iron.
Cheese
Adds savory flavor and some fat, and can brown slightly against the hot iron.

The step that matters

Fold in the egg whites gently. Whipped egg whites trap air that gives the waffles lift. Overmixing deflates that foam, leaving the waffles dense. Folding keeps the air in the batter.
