Method
Batter
- Melt butter; cool slightly. Separate eggs if you prefer lighter waffles (optional). Whisk flour, sugar and salt.
- Whisk 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 10 minutes.
Cook
- Heat the waffle iron according to its instructions until hot. Lightly grease if needed.
- 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.
