Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the waffle iron.
  • In 1 medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a second bowl use the wooden spoon to beat together the egg yolks and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow.
  • Add the vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk to the eggs and whisk to combine.
  • Combine the egg-milk mixture with the flour mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not over mix.
  • In third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
  • Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not overmix!
  • Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour enough batter in iron to just cover waffle grid.
  • Close and cook about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite fresh fruit and syrup, or freeze in a freezer bag.
