خطوة بخطوة

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the lukewarm milk, lukewarm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Ensure your liquids are lukewarm (not hot) to activate the yeast without killing it.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour and salt to combine.

   حوالي 1 د

3. 3

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

   حوالي 1 د

4. 4

   Pour the foamy yeast mixture and the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk until a smooth, thin batter forms.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: A few small lumps are okay; do not overmix.

5. 5

   Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for 60 minutes. The batter should rise and become very bubbly.

   حوالي 1 س

   ملاحظة الطاهي: An oven with just the light on can be a perfect warm spot for proofing.

6. 6

   When the batter is almost done resting, preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting.

   حوالي 5 د

7. 7

   In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

   حوالي 4 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The peaks should hold their shape when you lift the beaters out.

8. 8

   Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the rested batter in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the airiness.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Use a spatula to cut down the middle and fold the batter over the egg whites until just combined.

9. 9

   Lightly brush the waffle iron plates with vegetable oil.

10. 10

    Ladle the batter onto the hot iron, close the lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.

    حوالي 20 د

    ملاحظة الطاهي: Avoid opening the waffle iron too early, as this can cause the waffle to split.

11. 11

    Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to prevent it from getting soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.

12. 12

    Serve the waffles immediately, dusted with powdered sugar and your favorite toppings.
