Belgian (Brussels) Waffles

Love to cook from scratch, so when I purchased a Belgian waffle maker I searched for the perfect authentic recipe and combined a couple to come up with this. My family continuously asks for it....yummy good with strawberries and whip cream or just warm maple syrup.

This was the first recipe I made with my new Waring Pro Belgium Waffle maker. I made a half recipe which gave me 4 waffles. I let the batter sit in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, the batter had rose quite high so I stirred it down and made sure the batter was mixed together. The result was a very light and airy waffle. It was not a crispy dense waffle. That was ok because it tasted good. It just wasn't what I was expecting.Reply
