Secondly, prepare all the necessary ingredients to avoid the hassle during cooking time. Here are the ingredients (be reminded that these are proper measurements):

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Thirdly, here are the steps to make your dream waffle realized:
- Whisk egg whites until frothy in one of the mixing bowls you already prepared.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the other bowl.
- In a measuring cup, mix the butter, milk and vanilla.
- Then mix the dry ingredients to the egg. After that, you can stir in the liquid ingredients. Now, make sure that all the ingredients have blended together.
- Preheat your waffle maker until it is ready. Pour in the mixture into the slots and let it cook which will take about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the waffles from the waffle maker and serve on plate.
