Easy Belgian Waffle Recipe
Description
The recipe provides both an easy and a traditional method to prepare Belgian waffle batter. The easy method involves whisking dry ingredients together, then adding wet ingredients to form a smooth batter, adjusting with milk if too thick. The traditional method furthers volume by whipping separated egg whites to stiff peaks and folding them into the batter, creating a lighter, airier waffle.
Once batter is prepared, it cooks in a preheated Belgian waffle iron brushed with butter, forming waffles with crisp edges and soft centers. The recipe recommends serving the waffles warm with toppings such as berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or butter, versatile for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk cold
- 1/4 cup butter or canola oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg beaten
Instructions
easy method-
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Create well in the center.
- Into the well of the dry ingredients, pour in remaining ingredients (milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs). Whisk to incorporate and create a batter.
- If it seems too thick, add in an extra splash of milk. You want your waffle batter to be the consistency of white school glue.
- Preheat Belgian waffle maker. Brush generously with melted butter and pour in about 1/2 cup batter into the center. Close and cook according to waffle maker instructions.
- Repeat with remaining batter until all waffles have been cooked. Serve warm with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup and/or butter.
traditional method-
- Separate your eggs into whites and yolks. Add egg whites into a large bowl and whip with a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Create well in the center.
- Pour in remaining ingredients (milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg yolks). Whisk to incorporate and create a batter.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
- Preheat Belgian waffle maker. Brush generously with melted butter and pour in about 1/2 cup batter into the center. Close and cook according to waffle maker instructions.
- Repeat with remaining batter until all waffles have been cooked. Serve warm with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup and/or butter.
