AUNT GUN-MARIE'S WAFFLES

Aunt Gun-Marie's Waffles image

My Swedish aunt makes the best waffles ever - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. They are a bit of a project, but the best part is that they freeze really well too. We freeze them between sheets of parchment, then pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch fine salt
2 eggs, separated
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups whole milk
6 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Stir egg yolks and vanilla extract into flour mixture. Mix milk, alternating with butter in 3 to 4 additions, into flour mixture until batter is smooth.
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds. Gently fold egg whites into batter; let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
Spoon batter into the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
