Classic Belgian Waffle Recipe

Step 1

Preheat you waffle iron as directed.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to combine. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a second medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

Step 4

Add the egg yolks, oil, and milk to the well and use the whisk to slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir well until very few lumps remain.

Step 5

Fold in the beaten egg whites, taking care not to over mix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.

Step 7

When the waffle is done cooking, carefully place it on a wire rack to cool, taking care not to stack the waffles on top of each other. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve waffles hot with your favorite topping such as buttermilk syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
