BELGIAN WAFFLES

Serve up a treat for breakfast time (or dessert) with easy homemade Belgian waffles. Top with whatever you fancy - fruit, ice cream, and bacon are all classics

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Breakfast, Brunch, Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

240ml buttermilk
60g unsalted butter , melted
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
240g plain flour
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp caster sugar
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
oil , for greasing
berries , Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey, streaky bacon and maple syrup, ice cream and chocolate sauce, peanut butter and banana

Steps:

  • Whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla together in a large bowl. Separate the egg and whisk the yolk into the buttermilk mixture. Whisk the egg white in a clean bowl until it forms stiff peaks - this will keep your waffles light and fluffy.
  • Weigh all the other dry ingredients into a bowl. Whisk in the wet ingredients to create a smooth batter then carefully but decisively fold through the egg white - don't worry if you are left with a few small lumps. Cover with cling film and leave the batter to sit for 30 mins, if you have time.
  • Lightly oil then heat your waffle maker (or see the tip below). Heat the oven to low, so you can keep each waffle warm while the next one cooks. Pour enough batter for one waffle (about a quarter) into the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown on both sides and will come away from the maker easily, about 2 mins. Repeat with the remaining batter, then top with whatever you fancy.

Tips

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your waffles. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough. - Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the waffles lighter and fluffier. - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. A properly preheated waffle iron will help to ensure that the waffles cook evenly. - Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or butter. This will help to prevent the waffles from sticking. - Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's instructions. - Once the waffle is cooked, remove it from the waffle iron and place it on a wire rack to cool. - Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion

Belgian waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. With a little practice, you can make perfect Belgian waffles at home. Just remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, don't overmix the batter, let the batter rest before cooking, preheat your waffle iron properly, grease the waffle iron lightly, and pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the waffle is cooked, remove it from the waffle iron and place it on a wire rack to cool.
