4. In a small bowl, mix egg yolks, milk and butter. Set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form. 
6. Add egg yolk mixture to flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in egg whites.
7. Drop by large spoonful onto greased waffle iron, close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes.
8. Top with a scoop of Baileys whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped mint and chocolate shavings, a drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of raspberries.

Recipe Notes:

Beating the egg whites and folding them in makes the fluffiest waffles. This recipe can be made without beating the egg whites as well. If you do not beat the egg whites, reduce milk to 1 1/2 cups, and add whole eggs to the butter mixture.
