Waffles

Ingredients

• 330 ml semi-skimmed milk
• 1 vanilla pod
• 130 g unsalted butter
• 170 g wheat flour
• 6 eggs
• 40 g granulated sugar
• Icing sugar, for decoration

Method

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
2. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, sugar, flour, milk, melted butter and seeds scraped from the vanilla pod. Mix until smooth.
4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, taking care not to knock out too much air.
5. Preheat the waffle iron and cook portions of batter until the waffles are golden and crisp.
