Belgian Waffles

Cooking Time

~30–40 minutes

 Servings

About 8 waffles

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 200 ml milk (can be dairy, plant-based, or half-and-half)
• 80 g butter
• 200 g all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar (with real vanilla)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A splash of vanilla extract (optional)
• A pinch of salt

 Instructions

1. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
2. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
   • Beat the yolks with sugar, vanilla sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
   • Mix in the milk, then the melted butter.
   • Sift in the flour mixed with baking powder and stir briefly until smooth.
3. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form (they should hold when the bowl is tilted).
   • Gently fold them into the batter using upward motions.
   • Do not overmix, the batter should stay airy.
4. Cook the waffles in a waffle maker.
   • Place cooked waffles on a rack (for example, in a slightly open oven) to keep them crisp.
   • If they cool too much, briefly reheat in the waffle maker before serving.

 Serving Suggestion

Top with vanilla ice cream and seasonal berries for maximum joy per bite.
