1. How to Cook

To make the best Belgian waffles, begin by preheating your waffle iron. In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth but slightly thick.

Grease your waffle iron with a bit of oil or butter. Pour enough batter to cover the bottom surface evenly. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp—usually 3 to 5 minutes.

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients: Let your eggs and milk sit out for a few minutes before mixing for a smoother batter and better rise.Don’t overmix the batter: Stir just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.Let the batter rest: Resting the batter for 5–10 minutes allows the leavening agents to activate, creating lighter, fluffier waffles.Preheat the waffle iron properly: A fully heated waffle iron ensures a crisp, golden exterior.Grease the waffle iron: Even if it’s non-stick, a light spray or brush of oil or butter prevents sticking and promotes even browning.Keep waffles warm and crispy: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.
