Belgian Waffle

I’ll just say it: A weekend brunch seems incomplete without Belgian waffles.

Yes, you can have your eggs, pancakes, but there is something so perfectly weekend-esque about fluffy, crispy Belgian waffles, drizzled in powdered sugar, squares nestled in salty butter and soaked in maple syrup. I discovered this amazing Belgian waffle recipe, that I now make at home, using my Oster Waffle maker and it is perfection!

You can top it with powdered sugar and butter for a simple but satisfying fix or make a berry compote that is a tart and equally great accompaniment. Here’s how to make delicious Belgian waffles. The key I’ve found, is separating egg whites & egg yolks – the whisked egg whites are what make the waffle fluffy.

If you make this recipe, I’d love to see your pictures! Tag us on Instagram with #findmymojyo to share your creations.

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 3 Tablespoons Sugar
• ½ Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 Large Eggs Separated
• ½ Cup Vegetable Oil or melted butter (i prefer melted butter)
• 2 Cups Milk
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

 

 

Instructions

• Preheat the waffle iron - I use Oster brand waffle maker
• Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, nutmeg & cinnamon.
• Separate egg whites & egg yolks into separate bowls
• Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside. You can use either a hand mixer or whisker (just know if you're using a whisker, you have to whisk vigorously and intensely to get the stiff peaks, a hand mixer is less intense/less effort for the same result)
• In a separate bowl mix together the egg yolks, vegetable oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract.
• Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Fold in the egg whites.
• Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's directions. I like my waffles more crispy, so I set my temperature to medium-high.
• Serve immediately with butter, syrup, powdered sugar or any other topping. (Nutella, berry compote, pistachio spread are all good choices)
