Belgian Waffles


Crispy exterior, soft and fluffy interior, these are just about the perfect classic waffle.  You'll have to get up a little earlier and put some effort in to it, but it's well worth it as long as your friends and family leave you some.  Of course if you tell them how much butter is in this you'll be more likely to get some...

Ingredients:
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 C lukewarm milk (preferably whole)
4 eggs, separated
1 t vanilla
2 ½ C sifted flour
½ t salt
1 T sugar
½ C melted butter

Sprinkle yeast over milk and stir to dissolve.
 Beat egg yolks and add to yeast mixture with vanilla.
Sift together flour, salt and sugar; add to liquids. 
Stir in melted butter and combine thoroughly.
Let mixture stand in a warm place about 45 minutes or until mixture doubles. 
Beat egg whites until stiff; carefully fold into batter.
The amount you'll need for your waffle iron will vary, but should be around a cup, and this should make 5.
