Belgian Waffles

If you are in a rush, you can skip beating the egg whites separately. I used to do this, but now I am convinced it is worth the extra effort. To make wheat waffles, use wheat flour instead of white flour and use honey instead of sugar.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 4 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1/2 cup melted butter

• 2 cups milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 4 eggs, separated

Instructions

1. Whip egg whites to soft peaks.

2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and sugar.

3. Mix in milk, egg yolks and vanilla.

4. Mix in melted butter.

5. Fold in egg whites.

6. Use 7/8 cup batter per waffle. Makes about 6 Belgian waffles.
