Classic Belgian Waffles
Total Time:
13 min
Prep:
10 min
Cook:
3 min
Yield:8 to 10 (4 by 4-inch) waffles
Level:Easy
Ingredients

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups milk
non-stick cooking spray
Directions

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In 1 medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a second bowl use the wooden spoon to beat together the egg yolks and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow. Add the vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk to the eggs and whisk to combine. Combine the egg-milk mixture with the flour mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not over mix. In third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not overmix! Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour enough batter in iron to just cover waffle grid. Close and cook as per manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Crepes – Grandma Dennis’

1 cup flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup water (will need more water if not using crepe maker pan to get them to spread out on fry pan)

1/4 tsp salt

2 TBS melted butter

Place ingredients in blender in order.  Mix 30 seconds.  Stop, stir down sides.  Mix 30-60 seconds until smooth. I have a ninja so I put in the water first then the other ingredients so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the blender.

Makes 16 crepes

This is for use with the crepe maker you dip into the batter. If pouring into a pan you need to thin it out quite a lot.
