Heat waffle iron. Whisk butter and milk together. Sift flour into mixture, and whisk until smooth; stir in sugar, salt and vanilla.
Beat egg whites until they hold firm, glossy peaks. Fold batter gently into whites. Batter will be very thin.
Pour batter onto grids. Bake 2 minutes; turn, and bake until golden. (Cook on waffle iron set to 4, they may not look super brown or crispy but they are). Serve dusted with sugar and ice cream, or maple syrup as we prefer.
