The Fluffiest Lightest Belgian Waffles – Recipe – Most of us have had the unfortunate experience of trying to make waffles at home, only to find them dense and lackluster. Try this recipe and you will end up making waffles every Sunday morning like we do!
(I’ve converted this to volume measurements, so you don’t have to use a scale. Please measure your ingredients as precisely as you can.)
Ingredients – The Fluffiest Lightest Belgian Waffles – Recipe
2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt or table salt
1 TB baking powder
3 eggs, separated (not too cold)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1tsp real vanilla extract
1 stick butter, melted
2 TB plus 3/4 tsp sugar
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Stir with a whisk to aerate (instead of sifting).
In another bowl, combine egg yolks, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
In a standing mixer or with hand mixer, whip the egg whites until peaks just start to form. Add the sugar, slowly and whip until stiff peaks form.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated. Do not overmix or gluten will form and make your waffles dense!
Fold in egg whites carefully to avoid deflating them.
Make waffles with your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions. Serve with softened butter and maple syrup or fruit compote.
