Ingredients

• 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
• Belgian Chocolate-Fudge Sauce, for serving

Directions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. In a large bowl, stir the flour with the salt. Whisk in the yeast mixture, milk, butter, egg yolks and vanilla until smooth.

2. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold them into the batter and let stand for 20 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 225°. Heat and grease a waffle iron. Pour 1 1/4 cups of the batter into the iron and cook until the waffles are golden, 6 minutes. Transfer the waffles to the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Dust the waffles with confectioners’ sugar, drizzle with the Belgian Chocolate-Fudge Sauce and serve.
