Just add a few dry ingredients with some simple wet ingredients and in just a few minutes, these hot and golden Belgian waffles are ready to be devoured!

What’s The Difference Between Regular And Belgian Waffles

Belgian waffles are similar to other waffles except they are made with a waffle iron that makes deeper pockets in the waffle. I love Belgian waffles because they can handle more syrup and other delicious toppings without spilling onto the plate before you get a chance to eat them.

Most homemade waffle recipes can be used on any waffle iron – Belgian or not.

DIRECTIONS –

If you’ve tried our homemade pancake recipe,you’ll love this Belgian waffle recipe!Crispy outsides, fluffy insides, and they are so simple to make!

1. Start by preheating the waffle iron. I bought this double Belgian waffle iron last year and we absolutely LOVE it! I love that it cooks 2 waffles at a time, so feeding our family of 7 goes twice as fast!
2. In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.In a second bowl beat together egg yolks and sugar, then add some vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk and whisk to combine.
3. Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not overmix.
4. In a third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.
5. Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not over-mix!
6. Coat the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and pour enough batter into the iron to just cover the waffle grid.
7. Close and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite fresh fruit and syrup, or you can freeze them and save them for a busy weekday morning!

Best Belgian Waffle Toppings

• Homemade maple or Buttermilk Syrup
• Whipped cream and chocolate syrup (my kids’ favorite – shocker, I know)
• Fresh fruit – strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries
• Peanut butter and honey (my favorite as a kid)
• Turn it into a dessert with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkles
• Nutella

Can You Freeze Belgian Waffles?

You can easily freeze these waffles, in fact, my kids are such huge fans of these that I always make an extra batch or two to keep in the freezer so they can have a warm breakfast before school. Just be sure to store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container, like a large Ziploc bag.

They will stay fresh in the freezer for at least 2 months. When you’re ready to eat them, just warm them up in the microwave (though they won’t be as crispy), toaster, or toaster oven until they’re heated.
