Our Favourite Belgian Waffles

Maïté G.'s Note:

This is our favourite type of waffles. They normally are eaten hot, but the leftovers are very good cold as well.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 25 waffles

• ½ liter milk
• 8 eggs , separated
• 250 g butter
• 150 g sugar
• 500 g flour
• 1 pinch salt

Directions:

1. Mix together flour, egg yolks, sugar, salt and the milk until you obtain a dough without lumps.
2. Add the melted butter and the whipped egg whites.
3. Bake in a hot waffle iron. You only need to grease it for the first waffle if you're using an non-stick waffle iron.
4. Serve hot with some powdered sugar on top.

These were great waffles. I fixed these this morning for the family while I made them load the van. (yeah, you heard me correct) They did such a good job that I even heated up the maple syrup for them. (although hubby had them with blackberries) Substituted a third of the flour for whole wheat. Made for ZWT4.

Loved them! Edited to say that I've made these twice now and this is my favorite waffle recipe. The waffles are light but crisp and color uniformly when cooked. Thanks Maite! Please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.
