Plain waffles

Ingredients:

Waffles

• 2 cups premium flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1.5 cups of milk
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs (whites separated from yolks) + 2 extra whites
• 110g salted butter, melted, plus softened butter for serving
• Warm syrup, for serving
• Special equipment: waffle iron

Preparation:

1. Preheat waffle iron to medium heat.
2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla extract, and 2 egg yolks. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix very gently. Add the melted butter and continue mixing very gently until the dough is smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 egg whites with a whisk (or mixer) until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold them into the batter, being careful not to overbeat.
4. Place the batter in a waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (the waffles should be golden and crispy!). Serve immediately with softened butter and warm syrup.
