These waffles are light, fluffy, and perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
Warm the milk slightly and sprinkle the yeast over it, stirring to dissolve.
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Separate the eggs, and beat the yolks. Add them to the milk mixture along with the vanilla extract.
Beating the yolks helps to incorporate air, making the batter lighter.
In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Gradually add this to the liquid mixture, stirring until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients slowly to avoid lumps in the batter.
Melt the butter and stir it into the batter until well combined.
Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding to prevent cooking the eggs.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
Folding in the egg whites gently helps maintain the batter's airiness.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour about half a cup of batter onto the iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid overfilling the waffle iron to prevent overflow.
Top the cooked waffles with fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Arrange the strawberries attractively for a pleasing presentation.
Serve the waffles warm and enjoy your delightful breakfast.
Serve immediately to enjoy the waffles at their best texture and flavor.
