Best Belgian Waffles Recipe
The secret to making unbelievably light and fluffy Belgian waffles is to separate the eggs and beat the egg whites.
Equipment
- A good belgian waffle maker.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbs baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg yolks lightly beaten
- 1 ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup canola oil
- 2 egg whites stiffly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sift together the dry ingredients.
- Combine yolks, milk and oil in a separate bowl.
- Stir in the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks develop. A handheld beater works well. Fold the egg whites into the batter and leave a few fluffs.
- Bake at 375° F for about five minutes or until steam almost stops.
- Serve hot with soft butter and heated real maple syrup.

Notes
A good belgian waffle iron with the ability to control the temperature is a must. However, don’t trust the temperature setting on the waffle iron, they are notoriously inaccurate. Use an infrared thermometer to directly measure the temperature of the waffle iron grid.
