Classic Belgian Waffles

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2003

Ingredients

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups milk
non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. 

In 1 medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

• 2 cups cake flour
  
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

In a second bowl use the wooden spoon to beat together the egg yolks and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow. 

• 4 large eggs, separated
• 2 tablespoons sugar 

Add the vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk to the eggs and whisk to combine. 

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups milk 

Combine the egg-milk mixture with the flour mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not over mix. 

In third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not overmix! 

Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour enough batter in iron to just cover waffle grid. Close and cook as per manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
