Description
Fluffy Homemade Belgian Waffles are thick, golden, and airy waffles made from scratch with simple ingredients. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, these waffles are ideal for brunch, breakfast, or a sweet weekend treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, berries, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a spatula.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour in the batter (amount depends on your waffle maker).
- Cook until golden brown and crisp, then remove and serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
- For extra crispy waffles, place them on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F) while cooking the rest.
- Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay!
- Make it gluten-free with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Use whipped egg whites for maximum fluffiness.
- Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or spices like cinnamon.
