These aren’t your typical breakfast waffles—they’re taller, lighter, and have a crispy exterior with a soft, airy inside.
Belgian waffles are a real indulgence, and making them at home is simpler than you might expect. With just a handful of ingredients and a reliable waffle iron, you can easily create a batch of these delicious treats that will take your breakfast or brunch to the next level.
EQUIPMENT
- Waffle Iron
- Sifter
- Spatula
- Whisk
- Bowls
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups of flour (240g)
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 cups of milk (474ml)
- 2 tbsp of sugar (25g)
- 1/2 stick (4 tbsp) of unsalted butter, melted (56g)
- 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (2ml)
- 1/2 tsp of salt (2g)
- 2 tsp of baking powder (10g)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Start by separating the eggs: place the egg whites in one medium bowl and the yolks in another. Add sugar to the yolks and whisk or mix until combined.
- Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk to the yolk mixture. Whisk until well-blended.
- Sift the dry ingredients together and gradually add them to the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon—be careful not to overmix!
- Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then carefully fold them into the batter. Avoid stirring too vigorously to preserve the airy texture.
- Preheat your waffle iron and pour in the batter—amounts will vary depending on the size of your iron. Close the lid and cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
