Belgian Waffle Recipe
Description
The Belgian Waffle Recipe starts with a blend of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The spices lend a gentle warmth and depth to the waffles. Egg whites are whipped separately to stiff peaks to incorporate air, contributing to a lighter, airy texture. Egg yolks mix with vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to provide richness and moisture. Combining the wet and dry ingredients and then folding in the egg whites gently creates a batter that cooks to crisp golden waffles with a tender crumb inside.
Cooked waffles are best served hot and crisp, immediately after cooking, with a selection of classic toppings such as butter, maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar, fruit preserves, chocolate syrup, ice cream, or fresh fruit. The recipe notes highlight that batter quantity per waffle may vary depending on your waffle iron model, so adjust accordingly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour all purpose or plain
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 teaspoons baking powder aluminium-free
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar white
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large egg separated
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Lightly grease your waffle iron plates with nonstick cooking oil spray. Preheat waffle iron following manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstach, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Grab a medium-sized bowl and beat the egg whites with a hand beater until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a third bowl, mix the egg yolks with the oil, milk and vanilla extract. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
- Gently fold in the egg whites, being careful not to overbeat the batter.
- Pour ¾ cup* batter into the hot waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's directions. (We cook ours on medium-brown setting.)
- Place cooked waffle on a cooling rack to keep it crisp and repeat with remaining batter.
- Best served hot with butter, maple syrup or honey, powdered sugar, fruit conserves, chocolate syrup, ice cream, fruit, or any of your favourite toppings.
Notes
- The recommended batter amount per waffle is ¾ cup, but check your waffle iron’s instructions as volume may differ.
