Classic Belgian Waffle Recipe
Classic Belgian Waffle recipe for fluffy & perfectly crisp waffles. Made with simple ingredients, it's an easy recipe for the BEST Belgian waffles ever!
Servings: 6 large waffles
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs yolks and whites separated
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 3/4 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat you waffle iron as directed.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to combine. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a second medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Add the egg yolks, oil, and milk to the well and use the whisk to slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir well until very few lumps remain.
- Fold in the beaten egg whites, taking care not to over mix.
- Pour the batter into your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
- When the waffle is done cooking, carefully place it on a wire rack to cool, taking care not to stack the waffles on top of each other. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve waffles hot with your favorite topping such as buttermilk syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
- The key to that light and fluffy waffle is taking the time to beat the egg whites before adding them to the rest of the batter. If you skip this step, you'll still have one delicious waffle but that texture just won't be the same.
- I found that using oil instead of butter lends to a crispier waffle exterior. I do love butter, but this recipe really is better with the oil.
- When folding in the egg whites, be gentle to avoid deflating them, which helps maintain the batter's lightness.
- Place cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them, to keep them crisp while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
