Belgian Waffle Recipe
This Belgian Waffle Recipe makes thick, fluffy waffles with crisp golden edges and deep pockets for syrup, berries, whipped cream, or butter.
Equipment
- Belgian waffle iron
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups cold milk
- ¼ cup melted butter or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center, then add milk, melted butter or oil, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs.
- Mix gently until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Adjust the batter if needed. Add a little milk if too thick or a small amount of flour if too thin. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Preheat and lightly grease a Belgian waffle iron with melted butter.
- Pour about 1/2 cup batter into the center of the waffle iron.
- Cook until golden brown according to your waffle maker’s instructions.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, then serve warm with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or butter.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter or the waffles may turn dense. Batter should be thick but pourable, similar to white school glue. For extra fluffy waffles, separate the eggs, whip the whites to stiff peaks, then gently fold them into the batter before cooking.
