Belgian Waffles
Belgian Waffles is American home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
How to cook it
- Heat a waffle iron and whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Separate the eggs, then beat the whites to soft peaks in a clean bowl.
- Whisk the yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla, then fold into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the beaten whites to keep the batter airy.
- Cook the batter in the waffle iron until crisp and golden, about 4 minutes per waffle.
- Serve hot with maple syrup.
