Authentic Belgian Waffle Recipe
This authentic recipe, preferred in Belgium and the Netherlands, is much richer and sweeter than the
American recipes. Both children and adults love this Belgian treat. It is particularly good for dessert,
at parties and for special occasions.
8 oz. granulated sugar
8 oz. (1 cup) butter, melted
4 eggs, separated
1
1
⁄
2
cups self-rising flour
Makes about 3 waffles
1. Place the granulated sugar in a medium size bowl. Mix in the melted butter. Mix in the 4 egg
yolks. Add and thoroughly mix in the self-rising flour.
2. In a medium size bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Stir the whites into the flour mixture until
all is fully blended. If necessary, add a little more flour to stiffen the batter. The batter should flow
off a spoon, but only slowly.
3. Preheat the Belgian WafflePro
®
and set it at:
“
Uniform Texture
” @ Color Adjust 2 @ 4:30 minutes.
4. Pour one full measured cup of batter onto the preheated waffle grid. Close and latch the lid. Bake
until the signal indicates the waffle is done.
5. Remove waffle and place on wire rack for 30 seconds, then serve immediately.
Because this batter has so much butter, some batter could seep out of the sides and front of the
waffle maker during the baking process. This is normal. The waffle will be soft and fragile (compared
to American waffles) when “ready”, but it will stiffen quickly when removed from the griddle.
Because it is very sweet and filling (like a butter cookie), you will find that 3 waffles will satisfy a
group of 6 to 8 people.
