4 oz. butter, melted
6 oz. egg whites
Fresh fruit as topping

In a medium bowl, combine and sift the dry ingredients, set aside. Preheat the waffle iron to desired temperature.

In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, orange juice, milk, heavy cream, and orange and lemon zests.

Fold in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients (by hand with a whip or stand mixer on low speed/paddle, then slowly fold in melted butter.
