This Homemade Belgian Waffle Recipe is easy and makes delicious, authentic, Belgian waffles! These waffles are perfectly crisp and golden on the outside while being light and fluffy on the inside! Waffles: Waffles are a classic breakfast and brunch staple that have become so popular because of their amazing crispy golden exterior with deep pockets for holding syrup and butter! My family would have these waffles every single weekend, and in fact, sometimes I get up early on a weekday morning because I’m craving them! Everyone knows and loves getting waffles at their favorite breakfast restaurants, and they’re truly just as easy to make at home! Belgian Waffle: Belgian waffles are similar to classic waffles, except that they have deeper pockets due to being made in a Belgian Waffle Maker. Belgian waffles are also very light and airy inside.
Traditionally this was due to them being made with yeast. Generally today they are made with baking powder, like in my recipe. In order to keep the waffles light, we beat the egg whites separately from the yolks, then, fold them into the batter at the end. Because of the major texture difference, you cannot use pancake batter to make these waffles! In the picture below you can see how simple it is to make your Belgian waffle batter.
First, you will whisk together your dry ingredients. Mix all of your wet ingredients except for the egg whites together and then combine them with the dry ingredients. Beat your egg whites in their bowl until stiff peaks form. Then, use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the batter. It’s ok if the batter is a bit lumpy, don’t over stir.
What to Serve with Belgian Waffles: We like to serve our Belgian waffles with powdered sugar, syrup, sliced fruit, and sometimes whipped cream for topping! These waffles make a hearty breakfast on their own, but, they are also great with savory sides like scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, or your favorite bacon! How to Reheat Belgian Waffles: First, if you want to save some of these waffles for later I recommend only refrigerating them for a couple of days. Otherwise, you can freeze them in freezer safe bags for a few weeks. You will want to reheat them in the oven instead of the microwave to keep them nice and crispy! I recommend placing them right on the oven rack at 250 degrees for about ten minutes. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
