Ingredients

Instructions

Sift the flours, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and add sugar.
In a separate bowl or jug beat together the egg yolks, cooled melted butter and milk.
Add this to the dry ingredients and mix to combine and beat out any butter lumps that have formed.
In another bowl (sorry this is a 3 bowl job!) whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into the mixture.
Heat waffle iron (to check if iron is hot enough drop a bit of water onto it, if it steams and then disappears its ready). Alternatively use you electric waffle maker and follow manufacturer instructions to ensure it is ready.
I use a metal ladle to pour the mixture into each segment of the waffle iron, DON’T OVERFILL the batter does not have to reach all four corners of the waffle mould, this will happen in the cooking process.
Cook for 4mins and then, if using a waffle iron, turn over and cook for a further 2 mins.
The baking time becomes a bit of an art with practice; you may need more or less depending on your hob, waffle iron or waffle maker.

Notes

The cooking time in this recipe assumes you're making 6-8 but if like me you double up the mixture and you're using an iron, not an electrical waffle maker you'll be an hour at least at the stove (remember, it's worth it!) Another tip is to add each baked waffle to a baking tray in the oven on the lowest heat, firstly to keep them warm (I always do this pancakes too) until you’re ready to plate them up, secondly to dry them out a little bit for a more authentic crunchy external texture and a soft fluffy inner.
