Belgian Waffles Recipe
Description
The Belgian Waffles Recipe starts by sifting together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring even leavening and sweetness. Separating the eggs allows whipping the whites to soft peaks, which lightens the batter when folded in, giving the waffles their characteristic airy texture. The wet ingredients of milk, oil, and vanilla are combined with the yolks for richness and flavor. Cooking in a medium-high preheated waffle iron creates a crisp exterior while keeping the interior soft and fluffy. The recipe suggests serving with a variety of standard toppings including whipped cream and fruit, which complement the mild sweetness and crisp texture.
The waffles can also be frozen once cooled, stored in airtight containers for up to four months, and reheated either in the oven or toaster to restore crispness and warmth, enabling effortless future servings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg large
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- Fruit
- powdered sugar
- Whipped Cream
- Buttermilk syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
- Separate egg whites and yolks into two separate bowls.
- Beat egg whites until peaks form and set aside.
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla to egg yolks and stir until just combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in egg whites.
- Grease the waffle iron and preheat to medium-high. Add ½-⅔ cup batter per waffle to the iron and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until waffles are browned and crispy.
