Perfect Belgian Waffles that are crisp on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle. This tried and true recipe is our family’s favorite!
Waffles make a fabulous breakfast on their own for sure. But add it to Eggs, Bacon or the Best Breakfast Casserole for an amazing breakfast or brunch.
I’ve tried many other homemade waffle recipes over the years—ones I’ve made myself, or eaten at friends’ houses, and I’ve never found a recipe that compares to this one! I’ve made them a thousand times, and I love that they’re now a favorite with my own family.
The trick to making light and fluffy waffles is in separating the egg yolks and whites. The egg whites get beaten separately, till they form stiff peaks. You will then fold into the batter at the end. This creates the fabulous crispy outside and super cloud like inside. The deep pockets are all ready and waiting to hold your favorite toppings.
Belgian waffles are thicker and often larger than regular waffles because they are made with a waffle iron that has deeper grids. These deep pockets are perfect for holding delicious pools of syrup! The Belgian waffle batter is also made a little differently than regular waffles, often with a leavening agent or egg whites (as used in this recipe) to make the batter light and fluffy. Different Belgian waffle pans cook square, rectangular, or round waffles. Whatever the shape you will fine these absolutely luscious.
Basic ingredients that you can find in your pantry probably right now! So let’s get going
Making the waffles is simple and with the extra step of separating the eggs will make all the difference.
These are simply scrumptious because they are so fluffy and crispy all at the same time.
The best part of eating the Belgian waffles is filling up those holes with amazing toppings.
Allow waffles to cool completely, and then store them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 15 seconds, and then add to the toaster for 1-2 minutes, until crisp.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or so they say. I just know it is one of my most favorite meals to eat! There are so many yummy flavors, textures and combinations to eat. Whether you get up early or sleep in, these tried and true recipes will be sure to get you out of bed in the morning.
