Belgian-Style Waffles

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Mix The Dry Ingredients** Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl so the baking powder is evenly spread.

2. 2.

   Mix The Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

3. 3.

   Combine Gently

   Pour the wet mix into the dry. Stir just until no big dry patches remain. A few lumps are fine; overmixing makes tough waffles.

4. 4.

   Heat The Iron

   Preheat your waffle iron and lightly oil the plates. Wait until the ready light or indicator says it's hot.

5. 5.

   Cook The Waffles

   Scoop batter onto the iron (amount depends on your model, usually about 120 ml). Close and cook 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden and crisp.

6. 6.

   Keep Warm And Serve

   Transfer finished waffles to a wire rack so they stay crisp. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or fruit.
