Gaufres (Authentic Belgian Waffles)

1. 1

   Separate the 4 eggs, adding the yolks to the sugar and setting the whites aside for later use.

2. 2

   Add the flour and butter to the yolk and sugar mixture, first by stirring and then by working the mixture into a uniform dough with your hands.

3. 3

   Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy: when you lift the beater from the whites, soft peaks should form and then fall back, not holding much shape.

4. 4

   Crumble the dough and drop the pieces into the egg whites.

5. 5

   Stir by mashing the pieces of dough into the whites with a spoon, then stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.

6. 6

   Heat up a waffle iron.

7. 7

   When it is hot (but not too hot), drop the batter onto the iron in the desired serving size.

8. 8

   I usually get about 12 waffles roughly 4-5 inches in diameter from this recipe.
