Uncle G’s Famous Waffles

I didn’t even own a waffle maker, that’s how much I disliked waffles. I had to purchase one when my daughter made her request. It was worth it.

I promise you will never eat any other kind of waffle again.  They also freeze perfectly.  Place a piece of parchment between each waffle and slide them into a freezer bag.  Pop one out and place it in the toaster. Great for a busy weekday morning!

Melt and cool the butter. In a small bowl whisk the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl, set aside.

In a large bowl beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer at medium-high speed for 1 minute. Add the milk and dry ingredients, then mix at medium speed until well blended.

Add the melted butter and mix at medium-high speed until blended.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Preheat waffle iron.
