Belgian waffles are a traditional breakfast food that originated in Belgium. They're known for their crisp texture and deep squares, which are perfect for holding syrup and toppings. This recipe calls for separating the eggs and whipping the whites to give the batter a light, airy texture. The addition of melted butter gives the waffles a rich, buttery flavor. Served warm with your choice of topping, these waffles are a sweet and indulgent treat to enjoy for breakfast.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt until combined.
2.	Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in milk, egg yolks, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
3.	In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
4.	Preheat a waffle maker and cook waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, crisp and delicious.
