Delicious Belgian Waffles

Belgian waffles are a delightful treat that is perfect for breakfast or dessert. Known for their deep pockets and crispy exterior, they can be topped with a variety of delicious toppings such as whipped cream, fresh fruits, or syrup. Here’s how to make your own Belgian waffles at home!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or brush with oil.
6. Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle maker to just cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown.
7. Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.

Tips

For an extra special treat, you can add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before cooking. Enjoy your homemade Belgian waffles!
