This is my grandmother's recipe and I have fond memories of eating these waffles. I will spare you the details, however, and get straight to the recipe!

• 5 eggs (separated)
• 300 g sugar

Making the batter

1. Beat the egg whites until stiff and put to the side.
2. In a second bowl, mix the butter with the sugar, vanilla(sugar) and egg yolks with a wooden spoon.
3. Slowly mix in the sifted flour with the wooden spoon.
4. Finally, carefully fold in the egg whites.

Place the batter in the fridge for at least 3 hours for the best result.

Baking the waffles

Be sure to pre-heat the waffle iron and grease the iron before baking your first batch.

Bake for ± 1 min to 1 1/2 min.

Eating the waffles

This is the best part! You can eat them as is sort of like a cookie, or add fancy toppings like strawberries and cream. Enjoy!
