Belgian Waffles
These Belgian Waffles combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch for a crispy exterior and tender interior, lifted by beaten egg whites folded into a smooth batter with melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. The recipe yields waffles with a light texture and enough sweetness to serve with maple syrup, berries, or whipped cream. They can be adapted to gluten-free or dairy-free diets with suitable ingredient swaps.

Notes
- You can make this recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend; ensure baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk and butter with a dairy-free alternative.
- Egg replacers can replace eggs, though texture may be affected.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months with parchment paper between waffles to prevent sticking.
- Belgian waffle makers produce the characteristic size and texture but a standard waffle iron can be used with differences.
