This Homemade Belgian Waffle Recipe produces delicious, authentic Belgian waffles that are perfectly crisp and golden on the outside while remaining light and fluffy on the inside. Easy to prepare, these waffles make an ideal breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Large Eggs, separated
  • 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set it aside while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help make the waffles light and fluffy. Set aside once ready.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well to form a smooth batter.
  6. Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter to retain airiness, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto your preheated waffle iron, using about 3/4 cup of batter per waffle (based on an Oster Belgian waffle iron). Cook according to the manufacturer’s directions until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve: Serve your waffles immediately with butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast.

Notes

  • I use an Oster brand Belgian waffle iron which takes about 3/4 cup of batter per waffle.
  • Serve waffles immediately for the best texture—crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
  • To keep waffles warm and crisp while cooking in batches, place them on a wire rack in a warm oven.
  • You can customize toppings to suit your taste such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
