Description
Crisp on the outside and light, fluffy on the inside these classic Belgian waffles are perfect for weekend breakfasts or brunches. Serve with butter, maple syrup, or fresh berries for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, separated
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cooking spray or melted butter for the waffle iron
Instructions
1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined — a few lumps are fine.
5. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
6. Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour in the batter (amount varies by waffle maker).
7. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
8. Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra crispiness, let the cooked waffles rest briefly on a wire rack instead of stacking them.
You can freeze leftover waffles and reheat them in a toaster or oven.
Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon for fun flavor variations.
