Belgian Waffles

Heat the waffle iron. Whisk all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk the yolks from eggs with milk, butter and vanilla extract, then stir into dry mix until just combined.

Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold them gently into waffle base in two parts.

Brush the waffle iron with vegetable oil, ladle in enough waffle batter to cover the grid and close. Cook until deep golden and the steam slows right down, usually 4 to 5 minutes per waffle.

Dust waffles with powdered sugar and serve with strawberries. Keep finished waffles crisp on a rack in a low oven, not stacked.
