Preheat your Belgian waffle iron. 2. Blend egg whites in a blender (or with a mixer) until fluffy. Add all other ingredients and mix together for about 20–30 seconds, until you form a lumpy batter. Let the batter rest for 1 minute. Note: Do not over mix, as it will result in very firm waffles. 3. Heat maple syrup in the microwave for 20 seconds. Set aside at the table. 4. Add ⅓ cup of batter to your waffle iron. Follow the directions for your waffle iron. One waffle usually takes 3-4 minutes to cook to a golden brown. Tip: It’s all in the steam! Another way to make the perfect golden brown waffle is to watch the steam escaping from the sides. If you notice the steam has decreased or nearly stopped rising from the waffle iron, the waffle is ready.
