TIPS:
* To be more efficient, make waffles in larger batches and freeze leftovers. Reheat individually by placing in a toaster. Original recipe should yield 12 waffles depending on the size of your iron.
*The key to light, crispy waffles is to use the Belgian technique. Beat your egg whites to form stiff peaks in a separate bowl; fold them into the batter just before cooking.
