Waffles are great for breakfast or dessert.  Who can resist a warm,  fluffy waffle with chocolate syrup, whipped cream or blueberry jam?  Mmmmm…..

Makes about 4-5 waffles

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, warm but not hot
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Preheat waffle machine according to manufacturer ‘s instructions
2. Sift together flour,  baking powder,  sugar and salt
3. Beat egg yolks lightly and whisk into flour mixture
4. Add milk, melted butter and vanilla, mix well and set aside
5. Whisk egg white in electric mixer until moderately stiff peak forms
6. Fold egg white into batter until just blended ,  do not over mix

Whisking the egg whites and folding them back into the batter makes the waffles extra fluffy !
