Hill Family Belgian Waffles

2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cups shortening, melted
1 3/4 cups milk
non-stick cooking spray

In 1 medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a second smaller bowl, mix egg whites and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have become stiff (make sure you mix at high speed or it’ll take forever). Set aside. In a third bowl, mix yolk, milk and shortening. Combine the egg-milk-shortening mixture with the flour mixture and mix until blended. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not over mix! Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour enough batter in iron to cover waffle grid. Close and cook as per manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.
