THE BEST BELGIAN WAFFLES

In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon. In a small bowl with a fork, beat the egg yolks and whole milk together. When the melted butter has cooled, stir into the milk mixture. Stir in the vanilla. In a medium size bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Be careful not to over mix the batter. Preheat your waffle iron. Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to almost spread to the sides. You will need some space for the waffle to spread while cooking. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Top the waffle with your favorite toppings.
