30-Minute Belgian Waffle Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons (10g) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
• 1 3/4 cups (420ml) milk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (120ml) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat and allow it to fully preheat. This is an important step to ensure the waffles cook evenly and develop that crisp exterior.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agent and seasoning are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mixing the wet ingredients first helps to emulsify the batter, creating a smooth, cohesive texture.
  4. Gently Fold the Batter: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can develop too much gluten, resulting in a tough, dense waffle texture.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Scoop the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Keep Them Warm: As you cook the waffles, transfer them to a baking sheet and place them in a 200°F (95°C) oven to keep them warm and crisp until you’re ready to serve.
