Whip egg whites to firm, but not dry, peaks using
an electric mixer. Carefully fold whites into batter
in two additions, using a large rubber spatula, until
the whites and batter are completely incorporated.
When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound
and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour

spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within
1

inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle
iron – green indicator light will turn off. When
audible signal sounds and green indicator light
turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and
carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with
remaining batter.
