Classic Belgian Waffles
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy outside
and are soft and moist on the inside. Try these
waffles with your favorite syrup or a topping
such as sliced fresh strawberries and freshly
whipped cream.
Makes approx. 10 waffles
1½ cups water, divided
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
(one packet)
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated + 1 egg
white
¹
³
cup sugar
1½ cups whole milk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Heat half of the water to lukewarm, 105°–110°F
(40˚45˚C). Dissolve the yeast in the water with a
pinch of the sugar from the recipe; let stand 5 to
10 minutes, until the mixture begins to foam.
Put the flour and salt into a large bowl; stir
to blend and reserve. Add the egg yolks, one of
the egg whites, and remaining sugar to the
yeast mixture; stir to blend. Add the remaining
water, milk, melted butter, oil, and vanilla; stir
until the mixture is smooth. Stir the liquid mixture
into the flour mixture and beat until the mixture
is smooth.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold
the egg whites gently into the batter. Let the
batter stand for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Double Belgian Waffle
Maker on setting #4 or preferred setting*
(indicator light will illuminate when preheated).
For best results, do not open waffle maker
during cooking process. Doing so will offset the
timing mechanism.
When the waffle grids are preheated, open the
lid. Fill the provided batter cup to the top with
batter. If using a standard measuring cup, fill to
¾ cup. Use a heatproof spatula to spread the
batter evenly over the grids. Close lid and rotate
waffle maker 180˚ to the right. Bake the waffles
in the waffle iron until beeper indicates that the
waffle is done. Rotate waffle maker 180˚ to the
left. Remove waffle and repeat until all batter is
used.
Waffles may be kept warm in a low (20F) oven.
Place waffles arranged on a cookie sheet on a
rack in the warm oven. Serve with whipped
cream, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm
fruit syrup.
*We recommend using setting #4 to achieve
a golden-brown, baked Belgian waffle. Adjust
the browning control if you prefer lighter or
darker waffles.
