Ingredient Notes

This Belgian Waffle recipe uses mostly pantry staple ingredients to deliver warm, fluffy waffles to your family! To get started you’ll need eggs, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, whole milk, sparkling water, vanilla extract, lemon zest, flour, baking powder, and salt.

Aside from the sparkling water, it sounds like a regular waffle recipe, right? But the secret to these fluffy Belgian waffles is in the sparkling water and beating the egg whites to stiff peaks!

Just by adding in that one easy ingredient and then quickly beating the egg whites, you’ll get incredibly airy and fluffy waffles every time!

Once the Belgian Waffles come off your waffle iron, all that’s left to do is finish them off with delicious toppings! Dress them up with:

• Homemade Cinnamon Butter or old-fashioned Butter and maple syrup!
• Dust them with powdered sugar!
• Bury the waffles in Homemade Whipped Cream and then cover them in colorful sprinkles!
• Pour some Easy Homemade Strawberry Sauce Topping over your stack!
• Serve these Belgian Waffles covered in your favorite fresh berries!

How To Make Belgian Waffles

1. Separate the eggs and then beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until white and stiff.
2. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest in a separate large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the milk, sparkling water, and melted butter.
4. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then fold the dry ingredients into the egg-sugar mixture.
5. Gently Fold in the egg whites with a rubber spatula.
6. Cook the waffle batter in your waffle iron until golden brown!

Recipe Variations

These waffles are not super sweet so you can play around with nice toppings. But if you want to eat them without toppings you might want to add more sugar.

Spice them up by adding cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

This recipe can be used as a base recipe. How about adding more lemon zest and poppy seeds or blueberries?

Get creative!

Can I Make These Ahead?

Yes, you can. Put them in a toaster to warm them up. In a closed container in your fridge, they will stay good for around 4 days.

Can I Freeze Waffles?

Yes, that is no problem. Let them cool down completely and freeze up tightly covered for up to 4 months. You can also freeze and toast them.
