Waffles

01Method

1. 1

   Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt by sifting them together into a large bowl. Stir in the egg yolks and vanilla extract, then gradually incorporate the milk and butter in 3 to 4 alternating additions, mixing until the batter is smooth.

2. 2

   In a clean glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form — the whites should hold gentle mounds when the beater is lifted. Carefully fold the whipped whites into the batter, then allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat a waffle iron following the manufacturer's directions.

4. 4

   Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according to the appliance's instructions until done.
