How to Make Classic Restaurant Style Belgian Waffles
Hello and welcome to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today I am going to teach you how to make classic Belgian Waffles from scratch.
Let's get started.
For the ingredients we need, 2 cups of flour, 4 eggs separated, 2 cups of milk, we need
2 tablespoons of sugar, we need a half of a stick of butter, which is about 4 tablespoons,
we need a half of a teaspoon of vanilla extract, we need a half of teaspoon of salt, and we
need 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
So first, what we are going to do is we are going to take our sugar and we are going to
combine it with our eggs.
Great.
Then we are going to take our mixer and we are just going to mix this together.
Ok.
Now what we are going to do is take our melted butter, and go ahead and add that, take our
vanilla extract, and go ahead and add that.
And let's take our milk and go ahead and add that, and we will give it a light mix.
Not too much, we are going to take our flour, and go ahead and add that, it's ok if it doesn't
get all in there.
Salt, baking powder, go ahead and just sift it.
If you don't have a sifter then don't worry about it.
Ok, and now I am just going to take a hand whisk and I am going to mix it together, instead
of using a hand mixer for this part.
Don't want to over mix it.
Get it so it is all nice and mixed together.
Like that, great.
Now the next part, is we have our egg whites here, and what I am going to do is switch
out the attachment on my little hand mixer and get this little whisk, and I am going
to whisk this until it is nice and mixed, until there are peaks formed.
All right our egg whites are nice and mixed.
And the reason why we have these separated is it is going to help make our waffles nice
and fluffy.
Ok then what we do is take our egg whites and we will just pour it in there.
Ok, set that aside.
We will take our whisk again and we are just going to barely fold it all in there, we don't
want to over mix it at all, we just want to lightly get it all folded in.
Just fold it in, like that.
And now our batter is ready to go, on to the next step.
Ok, once our waffle iron is all heated up, we will go ahead and give it a good spray,
with kitchen spray, alright, and we will get some batter here, this one has a little line
on it, ok, we will go ahead and put it all over.
Close it, turn it upside down, and wait until it is done.
Mine has an indicator light when it is done and it will beep.
All right it is ready to go, we will turn it back over, and open it up.
Wow, look at that, amazing, and you just take a little fork like this, and grab it, and
put in on your plate, and on to the next one.
And you keep doing that until they are all done.
All right our classic Belgian waffles are done.
They were super easy to make, they came out super thick and fluffy, they look amazing.
My toppings that I have on this one, classic maple syrup and powdered sugar.
You can do whatever toppings you like, strawberries, whipped cream, blueberries, raspberries, bananas,
Nutella, peanut butter, whatever you want.
They are really easy to make, go out there and make some.
If I can do it, you can do it.
