Classic Belgian Waffles
 
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups milk
nonstick cooking spray

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In 1 medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a second bowl use the wooden spoon to beat together the egg yolks and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and eggs have turned a pale yellow. Add the vanilla extract, melted butter, and milk to the eggs and whisk to combine. Combine the egg-milk mixture with the flour mixture and whisk just until blended. Do not over mix. In third bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Using the rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the waffle batter. Do not overmix! Coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and pour enough batter in iron to just cover waffle grid. Close and cook as per manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.


Easy Belgian Waffles 

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup cooking oil

Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of dry mixture; set aside. In another mixing bowl, beat whole eggs slightly. Beat in milk and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy). Pour about 1 cup of the batter (or enough batter to fill pockets in iron) into hot waffle iron, immediately lower waffle iron lid, and cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove waffle from iron and separate waffles if necessary.

The one I use the most is the middle one. They are so good! We have a Waring Pro and I make the waffle mix ahead of time, put them in a container and put them in the refrigerator, so my honey or I can have a nice breakfast. No preservatives and it takes 10 minutes start to finish. You are so welcome, enjoy.
