CLASSIC BELGIAN WAFFLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat you waffle iron as directed.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to combine. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients.
• In a second medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
• Add the egg yolks, oil, and milk to the well and use the whisk to slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir well until very few lumps remain.
• Fold in the beaten egg whites, taking care not to over mix.
• Pour the batter into your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
• When the waffle is done cooking, carefully place it on a wire rack to cool, taking care not to stack the waffles on top of each other. Repeat with remaining batter.

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.
