Classic Belgian Waffles
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy outside and are soft and moist on the inside.
Try these waffles with your favorite syrup or a topping, such as fresh strawberries
and freshly whipped cream.
Makes about 10 waffles
1½ cups water (375ml) (divided)
2¼ teaspoons (one packet) active dry yeast
¹/³ cup (5g) sugar
3
cups (300g) sifted flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3
large eggs, sep 1 egg white
1½ cups (375ml) whole milk
8
tablespoons (15g) unsalted butter – melted and cooled
2
teaspoons vegetable oil
2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Heat half of the water to lukewarm, 105°–110°F (40–45°C). Dissolve the yeast in the
water with a pinch of the sugar from the recipe; let stand 5 to 10 minutes, until the
mixture begins to foam.
Put the flour and salt into a large bowl; stir to blend and reserve. Add the egg yolks,
one of the egg whites, and remaining sugar to the yeast mixture; stir to blend. Add the
remaining water, milk, melted butter, oil, and vanilla; stir until the mixture is smooth.
Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites gently into the
batter. Let the batter stand for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Preheat your Waring
®
Belgian Waffle Maker on setting #5 or preferred setting*
(ready light will illuminate when preheated).
Use the measuring cup to measure the batter and pour into the preheated waffle
grids. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the batter evenly over the grids. Close lid
and rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles until the Ready light
turns off and then on again. Rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the left. Remove waffle and
repeat until all batter is used. For best results, do not open waffle maker during
cooking process.
Waffles may be kept warm in a low (200°F/95°C) oven. Arrange waffles on a cookie
sheet on a rack in the warm oven. Serve with whipped cream, fruit, jam, powdered
sugar, or a warm fruit syrup.
*We recommend using setting #5 to achieve a golden-brown baked Belgian waffle.
Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
