Classic Belgian Waffles

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings: 5
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 350 ml warm milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Mix the Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Prep the Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
  3. The Secret Step: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is what makes them "Belgian" fluffy!
  4. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
  5. Fold: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Don't overmix, or you'll lose the air.
  6. Bake: Pour into your preheated WaffleUp and bake until golden brown and steam stops escaping.
