Belgian Waffles

Ingredients

  • 4.7 oz butter
  • 10 oz Flour
  • 3 tsp Baking ammonia
  • 2.3 oz Sugar
  • 1 packchen bourbon vanillezucker
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 2 Egg
  • 15 fl oz Milk

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Waffle Iron
  • Baking Spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gently melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Mix the flour and baking powder. Add the sugar, salt, eggs, and melted butter to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Gradually add the milk while stirring, and whisk everything together until smooth. The batter is much thinner than normal cake batter and is somewhat similar to pancake batter. If you have time, you can let the batter rest for about 10-30 minutes, but it's also fine without.

  3. 3

    Heat up the waffle iron and lightly grease it, for example, with some baking spray. Pour a few tablespoons of batter into the molds (we have an iron with 2 waffle molds), close it, and bake until golden brown in 3-4 minutes, depending on the appliance and the heat. Depending on the size of the waffle iron, this recipe yields about 8-12 large, thick waffles.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste, depending on the salt content of the ingredients.

Let yourself be enchanted by the crispy exterior and airy interior of these Belgian waffles. This straightforward yet flavorful recipe showcases a perfect balance between traditional Belgian baking techniques and the warmth of home cooking, much like Italian hospitality. The result is a delightful medley of flavors that will leave you craving more.
