Belgian Waffles with Berries
Crisp, deep-pocketed Belgian waffles with a tender center, fresh berries, whipped cream, and syrup.
Equipment
- Waffle iron
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Ladle
- Wire rack
Ingredients
Waffle Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
Mix the Batter:
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them gently into the batter.
Cook the Waffles:
- Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it if needed.
- Add enough batter to cover the plates without overflowing. Cook until deeply golden and crisp, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer each waffle to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve:
- Top the waffles with strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few small lumps are fine.
- For extra crisp waffles, replace 2 tablespoons of the flour with cornstarch.
