Light Waffles Made with Meringue

1. 1

   Soften the butter in the microwave and leave to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Sift the cake flour.

3. 3

   Separate the eggs.

4. 4

   Make meringue by whisking the egg whites, adding the sugar gradually until stiff peaks form.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and whisk in the melted butter a little at a time.

6. 6

   Then add the milk and the sifted flour, and mix gently.

7. 7

   Add in the meringue from Step 2 and carefully fold it in with a rubber spatula.

8. 8

   Cook in a waffle maker.

9. 9

   (I set my waffle maker to the medium setting and cooked for 3-4 minutes.)

10. 10

    NOTE: Increasing the sugar to 50 g will produce deliciously sweet waffles that are great even without a topping (however, they'll be soft and moist as opposed to crunchy).
