Method
Mix the batter
- Melt the butter; cool slightly.
- Separate the eggs if you prefer lighter waffles (optional).
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Whisk the milk, whole eggs (or yolks) and butter into the dry mix until smooth.
- If using whites, whip to soft peaks and fold in last.
Rest
- Rest 10 minutes so the batter hydrates.
Heat the iron
- Heat the waffle iron according to its instructions until hot.
- Lightly grease if needed.
Cook
- Pour batter to fill without overflowing; cook until deep golden and crisp (usually 3–5 minutes).
- Remove carefully; keep warm on a rack so steam escapes.
Serving
Serve hot from the iron with fruit, cream or sweetener.
Storage
Cool on a rack to stay crisp; freeze and re-crisp in a toaster.
