5 steps

1Heat the waffle iron. Whisk the maida, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
2Whisk the buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined.
3In a clean bowl whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, then fold them gently into the batter.
4Brush the iron with butter. Pour in enough batter to cover two thirds of the grid, close and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
5Lift onto a wire rack, not a plate, and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Serve it like this

Stack two waffles slightly offset, add a pat of butter in the centre and pour syrup so it fills the squares.
