In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk until just combined. A few lumps are okay.

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- 5
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the whites.

Pour about ¾ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes.

While waffles cook, combine mixed berries, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes, until berries soften and release their juices.
