Place biscuits in a large mixing bowl. Place milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium low and heat until butter is melted. Pour warm milk and butter over biscuits and stir until they are dissolved, about 1 minute. If the mixture still appears very thick add another 12 cup of milk so that the mixture whisks easily. To the milk mixture, whisk in flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and egg yolks until mixture is well blended and smooth. Preheat your Cuisinart® Waffle Iron.

Whip egg whites to firm, but not dry, peaks using an electric mixer. Carefully fold whites into batter in two additions, using a large rubber spatula, until the whites and batter are completely incorporated.

When iron is ready, the audible signal will sound and green indicator light will illuminate. Pour

34 cup batter on the center of lower grid;

spread batter using a heatproof spatula to within 12 inch of the edge of the grid. Close lid of waffle iron – green indicator light will turn off. When audible signal sounds and green indicator light turns on again, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
