Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

In a clean, separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the waffle batter.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if necessary.

For the syrup, combine mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the berries break down and the syrup thickens slightly. Mash gently with a fork if desired.

Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, or as directed by your waffle maker. Cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.

Serve the warm waffles immediately, generously drizzled with the warm galactic berry syrup.
