Notes
- : Belgian waffle makers are ideal for this recipe, but you can use a standard waffle iron too. Just keep in mind that the texture and size of the waffles will vary.
- : You can make these waffles gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure to check if your baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
- Place leftover waffles in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- If you want your Belgian waffles to last longer, let them cool completely, then place each waffle between a layer of parchment paper. Place the stack of waffles in freezer bags and squeeze out as much air as possible! Place them in the freezer and store for 3 to 4 months.
- Waffle Iron Variations: Belgian waffle makers are ideal for this recipe, but you can use a standard waffle iron too. Just keep in mind that the texture and size of the waffles will vary.
- Dairy-Free Alternative: If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
- Egg-Free Option: For an egg-free version, you can try using a commercial egg replacer. However, this may slightly alter the texture of the waffles.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: You can make these waffles gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure to check if your baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
