Belgian Waffle Recipe
Belgian waffles are my most beloved breakfast in Brussels. We’ve got many different versions of these waffles – with or without chocolate, with or without jam, with or without the cheese. But this is the recipe my mother taught me. It is an old recipe for making Belgian waffles; my mother taught me how to make them in 1946.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 4 large eggs separated
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups Milk
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Sliced fresh strawberries or syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Place aside.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a second bowl with the wooden spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved and the eggs turn pale yellow.
- Whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk. Whisk the egg-milk mixture with the flour mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites for about 1 minute until soft peaks form. Fold the egg whites gently into the waffle batter using the rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix!
- Use non-stick cooking spray to coat the waffle iron and pour enough batter on the grid to cover it.
- Close and cook according to them until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. garnish with strawberries and syrup. Immediately serve.
