Belgian Waffle Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour (all purpose or plain)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 teaspoons baking powder (aluminium-free)
• 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 large eggs (separated)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Lightly spray your waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking oil to prevent sticking. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions so it's ready when your batter is.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions, being sure not to overmix. The batter should be light and slightly thick.

4. 4

   Scoop about 3/4 cup of batter into your preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. A medium setting usually gives golden brown waffles with a crisp edge and fluffy interior.

5. 5

   Transfer cooked waffles to a wire cooling rack so they stay crisp while you make the rest. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or any of your favorite toppings.
