Belgian Waffle Recipe
Belgian waffles are almost a synonym for waffles so what kind of a waffle site would we be if we did not have a Belgian waffle recipe in our waffle arsenal. Not to mention that Belgian waffles taste heavenly. Surprisingly enough, they are named after Belgium and are known worldwide.Belgian waffle recipe will give you waffles that are light (because of the yeast) and crispy (because of the egg whites). Our mouths are watering already. And for sure you can mix them and top them with many different flavors. You can eat them with fruits, enjoy them with deserts or whipped cream with some chocolate topping. What also makes Belgian waffles stand out is their size. They are made in XXL waffle irons, but if you do not have one it's OK, they will taste just as good using a normal waffle iron.
The best way to make Belgian waffles is to use yeast. Yeast will make Belgian waffles fluffy, soft and yummy. You could also use baking powder or cake flour but you will get the best result with yeast. If you use yeast then eat them when they are done. They are not that good the next day… hmmm… we try really hard be we can't see the problem here :). Belgian waffles are in fact a common name for two kinds of waffles - Brussels waffles and Liege Waffles, but people usually imagine Brussels waffles when they talk about Belgian waffles so first we will give you Brussles kind of Belgian waffle recipe.
Belgian Waffle Recipe
For a Basic Belgian Waffle recipe we will need:
3 1/4 cups (1 lb. — 500g) all purpose flour
one sachet (7g) instant dried yeast
4 medium eggs
whole milk (you can also add some sparkling mineral water and make them even fluffier)
two sticks (1/2 lb. — 250g) butter
vanilla sugar
some salt
Got everything? Right! We will put the belgian waffle recipe into 9 steps so it is easier to follow:
1. Take a cup of milk and heat it until it is lukewarm then mix in your yeast. You can now leave the yeast standing for a while.
2. In the mean time – melt the butter, but stop as soon as it melts, don’t over heat it or even burn it – you will lose the taste. You also need to...
3. ...separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and beat the egg whites until you get snow.
4. Now take a big giant huge bowl and throw in all the flour, vanilla sugar (one sachet) and some salt. Make a hole in the middle of the flour and fill it with melted butter, dissolved yeast and egg yolk.
5. Mix while you are adding milk (and some mineral water if you want). You should mix it really well so there are no lumps. The question you might ask here is how dense should the dough be, how much milk? It should be thick, think pancakes and then make it a bit thicker.
6. OK, now gently mix the beaten egg whites into the dough…and…STOP! Enough mixing :).
7. We are really hungry right now but the hardest part of this recipe comes next – leave the dough to rest and rise at room temperature for a while. How long? Until the volume of the dough doubles or even triples! We told you to take a really big bowl. If you are in a hurry then wait for 30 minutes to one hour, but if you can, make the waffle dough in the evening and leave it overnight.
8. Use the oil to grease the waffle iron (which should be hot hot hot) so your waffles don't stick to it and pour the dough in it. Bake the until they turn golden brown.
9. This step is really easy…. Well, eat them already!
We can't say this Belgian waffle recipe is as easy as some of other recipes on our site but it sure kicks the ass out of every other waffle when it comes to taste. Yummy!

Hey wfl_luvr, please do! :)
I am not a cook, but what I do know about it is that to cook for one is hard. I just want to make one waffle. Do you have any ideas about portions of the recipe?
i do really love waffle specially belgian, so this recipe will be great, i'll give it a try this week end and let see the result.

Hi, we'll try to put all the recipes into cups and spoons. For yeast, that would be 4-5 teaspoons.
Hi William, You could make a whole batch and freeze some... they are brilliant reheated in the toaster. Straight from frozen! Or, give some away... you will become very popular. Happywaffling.

Make 1 waffle? How about freeze the rest and eat 1 each day for breakfast?
Just to let everyone here know ... vanilla sugar is sometimes sold in packets (as this recipe suggests). However sometimes it is sold in bulk and it can also be homemade (it is very easy; simply take 1-2 vanilla beans, 1 airtight jar, and regular granulated sugar and let it sit for about 3 weeks ... I do this).
I'm posting this because this recipe assumes you are using, or can find, the packets. If you aren't, or can't, you will have to know the amount of sugar in the packet ... 8 grams/0.28 ounces/1.68 US teaspoons ... this recipe doesn't tell you that.
If you can't make vanilla sugar (above) or can't find it anywhere you can use regular sugar plus 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for this recipe.
I hope this helps those that are curious.

In Belgium I ate stuffed waffles filled with wipped cream and fruits. I cannot find, anywhere, the details of making hollow waffles, so they can be stuffed.A number of companys make waffle irons that turn over. None of them can tell me why they spend so much extra time engineering and manufacturing waffle irons that turn over since the real reason is to make a waffle that is hollow inside (make waffle until crust on bottom then turn over so liquid batter flows into what is now the bottom heated plate). Please tell me where I can find instructions and receipt for hollow waffles.
I really really like the taste of the EGGO french toast frozen waffles and they make great egg sandwiches.
I have a cheapo round waffle maker with 4 sections.
How can I successfully alter a waffle recipe to get that mapley, cinnamony flavor in a waffle?
I've only made 1 batch of waffles in 10 years. I used Bisquick to make sure my old waffle maker still worked.
The waffle maker worked great. The Bisquick waffles for horrible. Fortunately my 4 dogs appreciated them.
I think I could get into this waffle thing. My grandkids love the frozen ones. Typically something homemade is better than frozen.
HELP?

Raymond: I haven't used rotating waffle maker yet, but as far as I understand it - it does quite the opposite - it makes waffles more even without any voids in them :)
Susie: for cinnamon taste just add some cinnamon powder :)!!
you could probably just cut a hole in the side of the waffle and have it taste just as good; that's how they make those cheap-o creme filled doughnuts that aren't actually cooked with the creme.

You can buy small boxes of vanilla sugar in IKEA's food section. Just an FYI

Lovely to see that people love waffles from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Of course in Belgium you will many variants of recipes.
This one is a very good one. However, I use 8 eggs (and yes, separate the yolk and the white)
If you are able to find real fresh yeast, use 40 grams (I guess, it's 1/2 oz)
I also use 4 dl (1pint) of milk + 4 dl (1pint) of spankling water.
In stead of vannila sugar, I use 4cl (? 8 US teaspoon, not sure about that) of Mandarine Napoleon Liquor (or Grand Marnier or any triple sec liquor)
But hey, this is only my variation, and I'm pretty sure if you meet an other Belgian, perhaps he / she will give you another variation on the same theme: Brussels Waffles :-) Enjoy it anyway
We like waffles in the southern hemisphere too!
Chris from Belgium for 8 eggs do you use a kilo of flour?
We were recently in Brussels and ate some phenomenal waffles that were nothing like the ones we have here in the States. They had little pockets of sugar crystals that added an extra sweetness that was heavenly. I had never thought of waffles as being for anything more than breakfast, but those "dessert" waffles, topped with fruit and real cream were awesome! Where can I buy these here in Colorado?
hi - is there anyone out there who can tell me how to get that lovely sugary coating on a waffle without it sticking and burning onto the irons? my actual waffle recipe is good - it's just how to add the nibbed sugar that i can't do - it just goes all black and burnt - and then it stinks !! help

Great recipe. But my favorite is pumpkin waffles. Mmmmmmm. Here's the best recipe I've ever found for them - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/PUMPKIN-WAFFLES-ULTIMATE-PUMPKIN-1270615
About 1 tablespoon I guess... Some is like not too much. Just an idea. :)
cups and grams on 15.07.2008. 02:18
newaffle, when you convert cups to grams you have to keep in mind what is in those cups. For instance - one cup of water is heavier that one cup of flour. Some examples I've found...
How Many Grams Are In A Cup?
Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams
Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed = 220 grams
Sifted white flour: 1 cup = 125 grams
White rice, uncooked: 1 cup = 185 grams
White rice, cooked: 1 cup = 175 grams
Butter: 1 cup = 227 grams
Almonds, slivered: 1 cup = 108 grams
Oil: 1 cup = 224 grams
Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams
Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams
Broccoli, flowerets: 1 cup = 71 grams
Raisins: 1 cup, packed = 165 grams
Milk, dry: 1 cup = 68 grams
Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams
Water: 1 cup = 236 grams
Confectioners sugar: 1 C = 110 g
Cocoa: 1 C = 125 g
etc..
end even these are not consistent. If you check different sources you get different values.
