Belgian Waffles
Servings 6 waffles
Belgian Waffles are made with a secret ingredient and technique to create incredibly fluffy waffles that are perfect for covering in your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until white and stiff, set aside.
- In another bowl whisk together egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
- Add milk, sparkling water, and melted butter and mix briefly.
- Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt and fold into the egg-sugar mixture.
- Gently fold in the egg whites to not lose too much air.
- Cook in your waffle iron in batches until golden brown (around 1 cup of batter per waffle/one soup ladle).
Notes
- You can only use milk if you don't have sparkling water. Sparkling water will make the waffles fluffier and airier. But milk will also work and result in tasty waffles.
- This step is optional, but will result in fluffier waffles
