Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups buttermilk

Equipment: A waffle iron

These ingredients work together to deliver the ideal texture that defines authentic Belgian Waffles. The flour provides the foundation. The sugar sweetens the deal, and the baking powder and soda cooperate to give that fluffy inside we all love. And what’s a waffle without a bit of butter? Unsalted butter will give this dish a creamy twist on the aftertaste!

Buttermilk is a key ingredient that differentiates Belgian waffles from others. Its tangy taste blends perfectly to give a fantastic flavor. Don’t fret if you’re missing some buttermilk; a decent substitute could be mixed lemon juice and milk!

How To Make Crispy Belgian Waffles

1. First, gather all your ingredients together.
2. Mix the dry ingredients ��� flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly incorporate the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and lumps disappear.
5. Plug in your waffle iron and let it heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. When your iron is ready to go, apply a small amount of non-stick cooking spray. Scoop out a ladle of the tasty batter, pour it into the waffle iron and close it.
7. Now, let the magic happen! Let it cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
8. Before serving, top with whipped cream, fruit, or any of your favorite waffle embellishments.

Tips For The Best Results

• Don’t overmix your batter; keep it a little lumpy.
• Make sure your waffle iron is hot before pouring the batter in.
• Do not open the waffle iron too early; let the waffles get crisp.

Storage Tips

• Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster for best results.
