Instructions

Preheat waffle maker to medium-high heat and lightly grease with non-stick spray.

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

In separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Beat egg whites in clean bowl until soft peaks form for extra fluffy waffles.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring just until combined - don't overmix.

Gently fold in beaten egg whites until just incorporated for maximum fluffiness.

Cook waffles according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown and crispy outside.

Keep finished waffles warm in 200°F oven while preparing other components.

For patties, combine ground beef with all seasonings in large bowl, mixing gently.

Form into 4 patties slightly larger than waffle size, creating small indent in center.

Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side.

Sprinkle bacon with brown sugar and spices during last minute of cooking.

Remove bacon to paper towels and reserve 2 tablespoons of fat for patties.

Cook beef patties in bacon fat over medium-high heat, 4-5 minutes per side.

Add cheese slices to patties during last minute of cooking, covering to melt.

Let patties rest 5 minutes under foil to retain juices and finish cooking.

Assemble burgers: bottom waffle, sauce, lettuce, patty with cheese, bacon, tomato, onion, top waffle.

Drizzle with maple glaze and secure with toothpicks if needed for stability.

Serve immediately while waffles are warm and cheese is melted for best experience.
