• Belgian waffle iron
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar

1. Preheat the waffle iron.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl large enough to hold all the batter, and set aside.
3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the yolks are pale yellow.
4. Add the vanilla, butter, and milk to the eggs mixture and whisk to combine.
5. Add egg-milk mixture to the bowl containing the flour mixture and mix gently. Do not over beat
6. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer with clean beaters about 1 minute, until they have reached the soft peak stage.
