Instructions:

Make the Waffle Batter:

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk.

3. Beat the Egg Whites – Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

4. Combine – Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.

5. Add the Butter – Stir in the melted butter. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy—don’t overmix!

6. Fold in the Egg Whites – Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites to keep the batter light and airy.
