Ingredients

250 g plain flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
350 ml milk
2 eggs
80 g butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

1
Preheat your waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2
In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg YOLKS, melted butter, and vanilla. (Keep the whites separate.)
3
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg WHITES until they hold soft peaks — they should look fluffy and hold their shape when you lift the whisk. This is what makes the waffles light.
4
Pour the wet yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
5
Gently fold in the whipped egg whites with a spatula — fold, don't stir, to keep the air in. Stop as soon as no white streaks remain.
