True Belgian Waffle Recipe

I don’t know about you, but when I think about Sunday mornings, I think about waffles and pancakes, French Toast and Aebelskivers. I had really great recipes for all of those except for waffles. I wanted a TRUE Belgian waffle recipe. I found one and am happy to share it with you this morning.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups milk
1 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use vanilla bean paste)
Sliced fresh berries or syrup

Directions:
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking powder. In another bowl, lightly beat egg yolks. Add milk, butter and vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Serve with strawberries and/or syrup (I like to make a homemade strawberry syrup).

To make Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream:
Whip small carton of heavy whipping cream with 1 cup of sugar on highest speed until thick and making stiff peaks. Add vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste (I find this on Amazon) and whip into cream. Enjoy!

Yield: 10 waffles (or 8 Texas-shaped waffles ?)
