Airy Belgian waffles with yeast and whipped egg whites. Classic Norwegian waffles are always good, but it is even more exciting to experiment with new varieties!

Created by national team baker Ivar Bakke.

How to make Belgian waffles

1. Make the batter
   Mix the flour, salt, melted butter, milk and water. Then stir in the egg yolks, yeast, sugar and the seeds from the vanilla pod.
2. Fold in the egg whites
   Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the batter at the end.
3. Let it rise
   Let the batter stand at room temperature for about an hour.
4. Bake
   Brush the Belgian waffle iron with melted butter before pouring in the batter. Bake until golden and crispy. If you don't have a Belgian waffle iron, you can use a regular waffle iron.
5. Serve
   Serve with whipped cream and mashed strawberries.

Tips:

• Whip the egg whites well before you fold them into the rest of the ingredients – this is what makes the waffles light and airy.
