Best 5 Rich Belgian Style Waffles Recipes

BELGIAN WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees and preheat a Belgian waffle iron (or standard waffle iron).
• In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, make a well in center of mixture and set aside.
• In a separate mixing bowl whisk together buttermilk, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and egg yolks until combined.
• In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer set on high speed, whip egg whites** until soft peaks form. Add sugar and whip until medium-stiff glossy peaks form.
• While whisking, pour buttermilk mixture into well in flour mixture and mix just until combined (batter should be slightly lumpy). Fold in egg white mixture.
• Cook batter in waffle iron according to manufactures directions. Once each waffle is done, transfer to warm oven and allow to rest to crisp further and keep warm. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or other desired toppings.

RICH DANISH WAFFLES

Steps:

• Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl until well combined. Whisk together egg yolks, buttermilk, milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a large bowl until smooth. Whip egg whites in a clean bowl to soft peaks. Fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until blended, then fold in the whipped egg whites.
• Preheat a Belgian waffle iron and coat with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, depending on the size of your waffle iron, onto the center of the hot iron. Close the lid and cook until steam stops coming out and the waffle is golden brown, about 90 seconds.

BELGIAN-STYLE YEAST WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, leaving room for expansion; the mixture will bubble and grow.
• Stir to combine; it's fine if the mixture isn't perfectly smooth.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour; the mixture will begin to bubble. You can cook the waffles at this point or refrigerate the batter overnight to cook waffles the next day.
• Preheat your waffle iron. Spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray, and pour ⅔ to ¾ cup batter (or the amount recommended by the manufacturer) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and bake for the recommended amount of time, until the waffle is golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes on a standard 7" Belgian-style (deep-pocket) waffle iron.
• Serve immediately.

BELGIAN BUTTERMILK WAFFLES WITH GLAZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Make waffles:
• Put oven rack in middle position and put a large metal cooling rack directly on it. Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl, then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.
• Brush hot waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil and pour a slightly rounded 1/2 cup of batter into each waffle mold (see cooks' note, below). Cook waffles according to manufacturer's instructions until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer as cooked to rack in oven to keep warm, keeping waffles in 1 layer to stay crisp. Make more waffles in same manner.
• Make topping:
• While last batch is cooking, heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add banana slices in 1 layer and cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove from heat and add syrup to skillet.
• Spoon bananas over waffles, then drizzle with warm syrup before serving.
