This light and fluffy homemade Belgian Waffle recipe is so easy to make from scratch. Try adding fruit or other toppings and I think you’ll find you will never need another waffle recipe!

I started cooking from a very young age, and this homemade waffle recipe is one of my earliest memories of making by myself, for my family. They were a staple of my childhood and are truly the best Belgian waffles recipe for light and fluffy waffles.
Belgian Waffles vs Regular Waffles:
Belgian waffles are thicker and often larger than regular waffles because they are made with a waffle iron that has deeper grids. These deep pockets are perfect for holding delicious pools of syrup.
The batter for Belgian waffles usually has a leavening agent. Our secret ingredient for waffles that are crisp on the outside, but light and soft in the center is to fold in beaten egg whites into the batter.
Different Belgian waffle pans cook square, rectangular, or round waffles.

How to Make Belgian Waffles:
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
![A mesh wire strainer sifting the dry ingredients into a glass bowl for Belgian Waffles.](https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Belgian-Waffles-10.jpg)
Whip Egg Whites: Separate the egg whites and yolks into two different mixing bowls. (Be careful not to get any yellow egg yolk in with the egg whites or they wont beat to stiff peaks properly). Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

Gently fold in the Egg Whites but don’t over-mix the batter.

Serve: Top these crispy Belgian waffles with my delicious homemade syrup, powdered sugar, and any kind of fruit, like bananas, or berries. You could even skip the syrup and add Nutella, jam or peanut butter.

This is hands down the best Belgian Waffle recipe we’ve tried. Nice and crispy outside, soft and fluffy inside… perfection.
Great recipe!!! They are the best I have tried, crunchy in the outside and sold on the inside. I make more and save for busy school days breakfast directly in the toaster. Thank you for sharing!
Such a great recipe! Separating and whipping the eggs makes such a difference.
I did add vanilla as others have suggested but no sugar as I like the sugar to be in the toppings instead.
Very Salty not good use less salt and add sugar
Bland and disappointing
These are so light and airy. I’m now addicted to these yummy Belgium waffles. Delicious with honey too, sprinkled with cinnamon.
Made these Belgium waffles yesterday for the first time, AMAZING! Easy to make!!!! Thank you
Excellent tasty waffles! Nice and thick. Beautifully browned and crispy on the outsides, while fluffy on the insides. Just how I like them.
Lauren,
Thank you for your recipe. I just made them just now (Sunday, April 28, 2024) and they came out perfect. The proportion of ingredients could not be better. The final waffle was crisp and moist without being doughy.
I did make one modification, mainly because I am lazy. I put the unseparated eggs in a blended with the oil (avocado) and whipped them to get air in the mixture.
Thanks again for a great breakfast.
Frank
You definitely need to add sugar and vanilla as it lacks taste. Also, not as light as I hoped for…..not a true Belgium waffle…sorry, back to the next recipe!
I love this recipe for Belgian Waffles. I have had some success with a slight variation. Try 1 cup all purpose flour and 3/4 cup almond flour, use melted coconut oil, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 teaspoons brown sugar. The results after 7 minutes in the waffle iron are extra crispy sweet waffles. I also enjoy serving with some whipped cream, walnuts and maple syrup for a delicious breakfast or dessert!
Really great recipe!
These are a weekend staple here. I do half a batch – my Kitchenaid will whip up one egg white, so it’s all good. Fresh off the iron works best for us, and the waffles disappear quickly. The recipe is perfect.
Are the fluffy? Absolutely. Are they bland? Very. I see a few comments on it being flavorful and it just makes me think that those people like the taste of cardboard.
Needs some vanilla, maybe some sugar, I just needs something to elevate it.
Recipe doesn’t use sugar or flavoring. Might be the reason the waffles are bland. The waffles did not rise much, kind of chew too. Probably better if they had vanilla or almond extract
I made this recipe today following the instructions completely. I found them to be very bland even topping with butter and syrup. Next time will add some sugar or vanilla to mix to make more flavorful. Thanks though for sharing the recipe!
Nice and Fluffy, not much flavor though. Kids and grandkids prefer the ultimate bisquick recipe. If try again will add some vanilla.
Yay! I love love love Belgian waffles and this recipe delivers!❤️ I have a complete dairy allergy (proteins and enzymes) and am diabetic so I’m really jumping for joy when I make this recipe because there’s no sugar (okay yes carbs) PLUS it works fantastically with EVERY SINGLE non-dairy milk substitute I’ve tried—oat, cashew, almond oat/almond mixture—(no soy—another allergy).
I’ve even added a little lemon juice to make a buttermilk style and it’s just as delicious!🤤
Thank you!🙏
Came out to be perfect!
My 2nd comment, after reading some of the other reviews. I made these for dinner, chicken and waffles. They were perfect. I thought about the fact that they don’t have sugar but didn’t miss it. They were perfect for dinner. I would make them for breakfast too. They’re flavorful and syrup adds sweetness.
Nice, fluffy, crispy waffles!!
i used this recipe about once a month when i have a serious breakfast hankering. i usually make one to eat right then but cook the rest of the batch and freeze them. i have started putting a tablespoon or 2 of sugar to the recipe and it has a sweet touch to the finished product.
Such a flavorful recipe, thank you. So simple and good. I added vanilla extract also. I was wondering can I make the batter overnight for the morning?
**Tip: click on the metric measurements and weigh your ingredients for successful waffles. The US measurements are **not all correct**. When I weighed out 1 3/4 cups of flour it only came to 268 ml (the same in grams). I kept adding flour until the scale read 414.03. I compared US vs metric measurements for all of the ingredients and the only other one that was significantly different was the oil. The waffles turned out fine when I weighed everything to match the metric numbers given, but I can see why a lot of people had problems. Hope this helps others.
ml is liquid measurement not volume so using the metric scale for this recipe would be all screwed up
I just made this recipe and it came out AMAZING!!! I have never used meringue for anything like this and now I will even conisder doing it for super fluffy pancakes. I’m not sure why others had difficulty with it. Only thing I can think of is that their ratios were off, that they didn’t beat the whites long enough, or they over mixed the whites into the batter. Thank you for posting this recipe!
Quick question….have you made this adding pumpkin to the recipe? If so can you post what you added to keep it fluffy? Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the waffles. In fact, we have a pumpkin waffle recipe that we think you’ll love. It’s here https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/pumpkin-waffles-with-cinnamon-cream-syrup/ If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
How long to microwave if thawed?
This was my first time trying a Belgian waffle and your recipe caught my eye instantly! My family is used to sweet waffles with sugar, vanilla and cinnamon, so I figured I should add a little something. I didn’t want to possibly ruin them, so I added just 1 tsp of sugar and 1/4 tsp of vanilla. The waffles came out AMAZING and my family loved them.
Everyone who had something negative to say in the comments had to have messed up somewhere in executing your recipe, because these were absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
I used your recipe this morning for Belgium Waffles…so light and fluffy as you said they would be…my new waffle recipe😊
Thank you
I love this recipe! I make them for freezing so my family can have them anytime! Thank you!
TERRIBLE it was super runny and clumpy i had to add more flour and no sugar? that doesn’t sound right i made a waffle with the runny batter before i fixed it they where extremely bland after i added the flour i added some vanilla and cinnamon so they were edible 0/10 do NOT recommend this recipe.
These were my first attempt at Belgian waffles and they turned out fantastic! I do like a little sweetness to my waffle, however. Can you add any sugar or would that alter the recipe too much?
Sure–I’d start with 1/4 cup sugar.
I did this recipe exactly how it’s said to be done, but it was SO runny, I had to add more flour.
I had the same worry after reading the recipe! I think I’ll add some extra flour right away.
I had high hopes for these waffles. I’ve never tried a waffle recipe where you stir in the peaked egg whites. I was really impressed at first by the texture and my family was loving them. Unfortunately, some of them started coming out of the waffle iron with black spots on them that tasted terrible! I have no idea what went wrong. The waffle iron itself looks intact and google has me wondering about my baking powder maybe? I have no idea. I’ll have to give this another try!
Hopefully you don’t have bugs in your flour. Pantry weevils can infiltrate your cupboards. They feed on dry foods – flour, cereal, rice, cake mixes and pasta. Very tiny and hard to get rid of. Anyone can get them. They fornicate in your food and lay eggs and multiply.
These waffles were great. I love adding the meringue into the batter. It makes them so fluffy.
These waffles were next level delicious and super easy to make.
Definitely a family hit!! Quick, easy, and a go to for any meal with young kids! In our weekly rotation 😋Now for recommendations on a good long lasting waffle maker…
Loved these waffles! They’re nice and fluffy, and I love that the recipe doesn’t use any sugar! My husband didn’t love the use of coconut oil because of the flavor that it added, but that’s something I can easily modify next time! This is a good staple for the recipe box.
I made these for my husband and I and he loved them!! He kept asking for more! They were absolutely delicious, the perfect texture, and so quick and easy to make. All the things I look for in a perfect recipe!
I’d never made waffles with meringue before! It was fun! 😊 Overall they came out great with nice crispy edges and a fluffy, slightly chewy center. The biggest benefit, to me, was how much the meringue fluffed up the batter so that it stretched much further than I expected. My usual waffle recipe uses more than 2 cups each of flour and milk to make just enough for my family of five, but this recipe fed the fam plus extra to freeze.
Only knocking it down to four stars because having to separate the eggs and beat the whites significantly increased the prep time and number of dishes I had to wash up. 😅
These are a weekend staple at my house. We’ve added semi sweet chocolate chips a few times and they are so good!
I have never in my life made waffles from scratch until this weekend. I chose this recipe from TBFS and was shocked at how good they were. The outsides were perfectly crisp while the inside was tender and fluffy. They are my new favorite! Thanks, Lauren!!
We love hearing this!! Those waffles are a team favorite! So glad you tried them 🙂
My 12 yr old daughter made these for dinner tonight. They were so good. Recipe was very easy for her to follow.
This recipe was easy and delicious. All of my kids loved it! We usually just use packaged mixes for waffles and my kids could tell these were different.
It goes to show, things really do taste better from scratch! Way to go!
This is a great go-to waffle recipe. The whipped egg whites transform these waffles into crisp on the outside, airy on the inside, perfection! I made them this past weekend and my kids have requested waffles again for next weekend!
Loved these waffles! Followed recipe exactly – I appreciated that they weren’t too sweet (knowing we would be adding syrup and sweet toppings), but just sweet enough. We ate them with her recommended homemade buttermilk syrup (also amazing) with berries and bananas. They froze great (with a piece of wax paper between each) and were tossed in the toaster a few days later for breakfast. Will definetly be saving this recipe and making again and again!
Amazing recipe, very fluffy and it tastes amazing with butter.
Best waffle recipe we have ever tried! We make this recipe at least once a week, sometimes more. Super fluffy, but get the perfect crispy outside. I love that the recipe is simple and all things we always have on hand.
Really good and will make again! Nice crisp and yet super fluffy!
This is the best waffle recipe!! It is pretty quick and easy to make and they are the lightest fluffiest waffles ever. Also great the next day reheated in the toaster!
First time making waffles from scratch, I am a fan. I used coconut oil which presented with a few problems and made them taste a little coconutty. Which was fine. I had to remelt the oil after adding it to the liquid ingredients but i fixed it and everything else went fine.
Next time I’ll use a neutral oil! Can’t wait to make again. Came out great.
These were incredible. I followed the recipe, exactly, and they turned out so good! They even turned out in a mini waffle maker. The flavor was so good, it was sweet, without any added sugar.
These were so fun to make (and eat)! I’ll definitely be making these again, but maybe adding a tad of sugar or chocolate chips. I substituted cream that I needed to use and they turned out beautifully.
Was inspired at 4:30 in the morning to make this for my children for breakfast. Only had a stick waffle maker, and the mixture worked really well, and the mini waffles were very light and fluffy. Was a lovely breakfast treat!
Our absolute favorite waffles! Light, fluffy, crispy, but most of all, so easy to make! No need to look any further! I like to add a tsp. of sugar and sometimes a splash of vanilla! Delish!!
Really good but it was missing something I think sugar would have perfected it.
These waffles are light a fluffy and good smothered in peanut butter like I like to eat waffles and pancakes. I was looking for a simple recipe to make rather than trying to keep a mix around. This one stays in my collection!
These turned out beautifully! Lightly crispy on the outside and nicely flavorful. Next time I’ll try a few drops of vanilla, since I think it might add a little something.
These waffles saved my life. I was abroad on a very important mission involving the safety of the world as we know it, impersonating the prince of Belgium. I had the scoundrels in my grasp, but among them was an imposterologist. I had to think fast. I remembered this recipe that I had discovered during my last car chase. Fortunately, they were easy and quick to make. The effect of the whipped egg whites was astounding. The imposterologist declared that only a Belgian of royal blood could make such stupendous waffles. After that, it was easy to obtain all the information I required to close the case. I’ll keep this one on file.
Wow, now that’s a waffle story worth sharing! 😂🧇 I’m so glad our Belgian waffles could help save the day and ensure the safety of the world as we know it. Who knew the secret to being a successful secret agent was mastering the art of waffle making? 😉🕵️♀️ Thanks for sharing your adventurous experience, and I hope you keep the recipe on file for all your future missions! 🤫
I made these Belgian waffles for my gluten free, dairy free guests. I substituted gluten free flour for all purpose flour, used almond milk and avocado oil. They turned out light and crispy. Everyone, including those who could eat gluten and dairy enjoyed them. I topped the waffles with homemade apple pie filling and homemade yogurt or a non-dairy yogurt.
Delicious!! I will never buy boxed mix again. These were simple and so yummy!
The number of waffle recipes have tried is ridiculous. This recipe surpassed all and is now my go to for Sunday morning waffles!!! Fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside!
Delicious addition to our Sunday morning breakfasts!!
Cooked the Belgian Waffle as intimidating as it seems at first, it really was very easy to follow the recipe. Waffles were crispy, light and just perfect with a sprinkle of powered sugar and homemade jam. 😊Thank you Laura for sharing the recipe. It was a breakfast of champions and truly enjoyed making it!
These are super delicious! They are worth getting out of bed—and I am not a morning person!! I like to top mine with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
Thank you for the recipe.
I don’t have a waffle maker but I just might try this in the cast iron pan.
Excellent waffles even using a regular iron! Added finely chopped pre-roasted pecans as requested by my quests.
These are perfect in every step of the way. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the outside.
You can have these with anything you want. This is the perfect food canvas for me to make snacks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Just want to share tips here too
Get 3 bowls for this recipe.
Bowl 1 is where you sift and mix the dry ingridients in.
Bowl 2 is where you mix the egg yolks, milk, oil, and Bowl 1 in.
Bowl 3 is where you stiff peak your egg whites and fold it into Bowl 2.
Oh, use a hand whisk for an easier way to fold your stiff peaked egg whites into the batter.
Hope this helps.
I used to make this recipe for my wife and I on holidays and snow days (we are both teachers). This was my absolute favorite waffle recipe at that point. She eventually became gluten intolerant and I stopped making it and went to a different recipe that was not great.
Since then, I’ve experimented in my cooking with different kinds of GF flours with lackluster results. I recently tried Cup 4 Cup and have like that flour OK. Anyway, with a snowy weather forecast, I decided to give this recipe a try but with some Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 flour that I saw at the store (I ran out of Cup 4 Cup). I expected mediocre results but it turned out AMAZINGLY. It tastes just like how I used to make them!
I did add a couple of extra splashes of milk to offset the dryness of the GF flour and I let the batter sit while I beat the egg whites to give it some absorption time. My wife and I could not tell that these were GF!
I do also add a generous pinch of sugar and a splash of vanilla too, just to enrich the flavor.
Anyway, I have always loved this recipe and am glad I get to come back to it!
The batter is too light…i had to add more flour, too much oil….also need to add little bit sugar otherwise tasteless. Still waffles are saggy, Big NO , too many things are wrong about this recipe, i had much better recipes from other source…this recipe- waste of products and time.
Substitute APF with bread flour to make use of that extra moisture you got there.
Wonderful recipe if you are looking for a taste-less soggy vessel for maple syrup.
Big letdown, not sure what all the 5 stars are about
Substitute APF with bread flour to make use of that extra moisture you got there.
Loved these!! Have made them twice so far at the request of my husband who says these are the best waffles he’s ever tasted!!
They are light on flavour, so you could add sugar to the batter potentially if you wanted, but they’re so fluffy and melt in your mouth that I wouldn’t want to change them. We also pair them with real maple syrup so I prefer the light texture and taste of the waffles as there is more than enough sugar in the syrup!
I made these waffles years ago & up until 4 months ago, I lost my computer. I have been going CRAZY trying to find it again. I typed in for ALL kinds of waffles & STILL could NOT find you! FINALLY something said to me…type in from scratch…as SOON as I say YOUR face, I KNEW, I FOUND YOU! These are BY FAR the BEST damn waffles EVER! I LOVE how WITHOUT sugar how good they are! I’m making them as I type, I have workers coming to replace my water heater & it’s a chilly morning, they are going to LOVE them! THANK YOU!
They were so delicious. Easy to make.
So light and fluffy. The family loved it. Everything disappeared in less than 10 minutes. Thanks for the amazing recipe
I loved this recipe. Very quick and easy and the waffles are crisp and light. In my Belgian waffle maker it made 12 individual squares. SO GOOD!!!
So, I know it’s my fault but I didn’t have any flour. So I used almond flour which did nothing! I have eaten one quarter of the waffle covered in sugar. The flavor is nowhere to be found! No flavor at all. I had a bad experience with these, but they probably would have turned out better had I used flour.
Don’t comment on a recipe, especially negatively, when you didn’t even follow the recipe!!!
Substitute the 1 3/4 cups milk with 1 cup milk and 3/4 cup sugar and mix with oil. Then follow through with the rest of the steps if you want a sweet version of this recipe.
Good morning:
Can butter be substituted for the oil?
Thank you
Yes, melted butter would be fine.
Hello, can you leave the batter over night and cook the next day?
Hi, just a minor comment on this excellent recipe. At the top you say that the recipe for Belgian waffles is American cuisine. I would suggest that there is a clue to the actual origin in the title. : )
So light and fluffy! First time making waffles and will definitely try again. I only had egg whites in the house, whipped them stiff and folded in.
I made the waffles using a stand mixer to whip the egg whites. It is delicious, light and fluffy. Thank you
Thank you for the recipe. Just wonderful! Made these waffles several times and it’s always most welcome at home.
What is cups in gram?
One cup equal what gram?
I don’t have cup same as your cup. But i only have measurement in gram.
Do you have waffle recipe in gram version instead of cup?

This was very easy to make, but unfortunately the batter lacked the structure to be successful in our waffle iron. It was far too light for the deep pockets of our waffle machine.
However, we were able to repurpose into light and fluffy hot cakes.
This is a great waffle batter recipe. It does not call for sugar, but you could add it if you’re looking for a traditional sweet waffle. This is a great basic recipe to adapt to your taste. We like ham and cheese added to ours, with or without syrup is delicious. Berries and bananas, vanilla or almond extract, cinnamon or whatever you like are all good additions. We also use gluten free flour and cashew milk for a gluten-free, milk-free waffle.
First off , these are NOT Belgian waffles!
Belgians don’t eat waffles for breakfast but as a dessert in the afternoon with whipped cream and fresh fruit or just with some powdered sugar.
Second, you NEVER use oil! but butter , and you are also missing the sugar in the batter
I cringe when people use the word Belgian waffles and then come up with this….
A concerned Belgian turned US citizen
My first thought was oil ? And then I absolutely added sugar and vanilla .. the batter feels too light . I had to add more flour
Whoa Karen. You need to calm down. If you eat them at 6am or 3pm they are still called waffles. There are certain foods that fit in certain time frames and waffles fit in the morning slot. Using oil and not butter and not including sugar is no excuse to get so nasty. Just quietly make those changes in your recipe. If something doesn’t work for you being hateful doesn’t change that.
Are you not hearing yourself here? You can keep your opinions to yourself about how to eat the food you make and eat. “Belgian” can be a name of anything at this point in time. So what gives!?!
Simple recipe and the waffles turned out great!
Absolutely horrible. I was skeptical of a waffle recipe calling for this much oil. And I should have listened to my instincts. For this to actually taste good to someone they much be a 2 pack a day smoker.
Made with nothing but fresh ingredients tasted horrendous. Won’t make this again
You can politely pass across your message without being rude
Great recipe, thank you! Waffles turned out light and fluffy! They are great on its own without syrup, but a tad more salt was needed for us. I add chocolate chips in the batter and they’re great as well!
Question: how long can I refrigerate the batter or is it just as good if I freeze the waffles for quick weekday breakfast?
Thanks a lot!
I would freeze the cooked waffles!
For a Sunday surprise for my husband this morning. Flavor wise…ok. However, it was limp and underwhelming. Was slightly crisp when I removed it from waffle machine but then immediately deflated. Made it exactly as instructed and I am a avid and serious baker and cook for 15 years now. Just wanted to try something else. Unfortunately, I will not make this again. Additionally, this recipe will feed 6 people….not two!
Can you check that your leavener is still good? This is a very common form of waffle batter that is usually successful. I’d hate to see another recipe go flat because the ingredient isn’t behaving well!
I made these for dinner one night ,and they were delicious., I did add a little vanilla to the recipe. I will be making them more. I used my waffle iron and they came out great. Mary
Super easy and comes out real light and crispy. Was very surprised to find that the batter kept well overnight in the fridge (had loads left over) and was even better the next day!
Great I cant wait to make this. I just need a waffle maker. Do you have any recommendations?
They sound really good, just a fun fact though Belgian waffles are made with a yeast dough instead of regular waffles which are leavened with baking soda and baking powder. Thanks for the recipe though!
The waffles were delicious. I sliced a granny smith apple to go along with it. Also, I warmed the milk and added a teaspoon of rapid rise yeast and a teaspoon of vanilla. They were really good!
Hugely misjudged how many waffles this recipe would make. It states that it makes six, which I thought would be perfect. Didn’t pay much attention as I was putting it together, but there’s enough batter to last my family of 3 a whole week, so I’m hoping it’ll keep well in the fridge!
Fool proof.. I’ve tried several other waffle recipes online and these are THE BEST! I will be making these again and again:)
This is my favorite recipe make it all the time always turns out perfect, even good when it is cold!!
Simple recipe. Delicious, light and fluffy!! Awesome recipe!!
Good and easy to make , light and fluffy no sugar
Will definitely make these again 👍
Delicious! Exceeded my expectations. Can these be made with gluten free flour? Thank you.
I just made a double batch with gluten-free flour, and they are great! For a single batch, use 1/4 cup less of flour.
Very light, fluffy, and crisp. My favorite recipe thus far.
There really were the best waffles I have ever made! Often times I think the one I’ve tried previously are too eggy, these were perfect!!!
I finally found the perfect waffle recipe!!! OMG thank you so much for posting this! They are light and heavenly! I have spent many a weekend trying different recipes that I found online only to be disappointed time and time again, but my search is over!
I’m so happy to hear it! Thanks for commenting!
Excellent recipe. But I feel I improved it by 1)adding a little more milk…total about 2 cups, 2) 3 1/2 to 4 teaspoons of baking powder total. Browned beautifully. Very crisp and light. I’ve looked for a long time for a good waffle recipe. This is it.
THE BEST! ordered & used the same waffle maker. Crisp & tender!! Used real maple syrup & we were in heaven. Hubbs ate 1 12/2 I could only eat 1. The rest is cooling & heading for the freezer. THANK YOU
These are by far the BEST waffles I have ever made!! They are crispy on the outside, but fluffy and light on the inside. I made them this morning for breakfast and everyone loved them. I made a fresh blueberry compote for the top. I did not even miss the sugar in the batter. These are so good. My kids were even eating them without syrup! Definitely going in my breakfast rotation! Easy and delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!
Wow, what a treat
My kids’ favorite!
Love this recipe! It’s become a family favorite. Perfect for our New Year’ Day brunch.
Simple, easy, Yummy!!!
Nothing like a Belgian waffle
Ok normal waffle recepie
Thank you for this recipe it made 13 on my square waffle maker!!! Everyone loved them:-)
Great recipe – crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Exactly what I was looking for. For the first time ever I made a waffle without adding sugar – and it was really good – syrup, or whatever else you top it with is plenty of sweetness, I think! We overindulged on these. Thanks for the recipe!
AMAZINGLY AWESOME.👋👋👋
This is the most fabulously delish waffle recipe i have ever eaten. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Everyone loved the chicken and waffles. With the Old Bay spice and the peach & ginger chutney, no other flavors were needed. Waffles turned out great. And luckily we made way too many so sent guests home with a doggie bag for breakfast!
I’m trying your recipe for a chicken and waffles dinner for friends tomorrow. It’s a Peach-O-Rama so I made peach-ginger chutney and thought that would go great with C&W. I love the your recipe has no sugar. But do you suggest adding a spice to compliment the chutney flavor? If I don’t hear back in time I won’t add anything, but I’m thinking a sprinkle of cinnamon and whisp of cardamon would be worth trying.
A sprinkle of cinnamon would be delicious! Hope everyone loves them!
Added 1/2 tsp vanilla and and 2 tb sugar. Shared breakfast. Not worried😂
I did this same thing as well. I like just a hint of sweetness. 🙂
How many waffles does this recipe make?
It makes about six waffles.
I just made these and they were wonderful! My husband ate 3. The beaten egg whites really make a difference.
Do I understand correctly: two egg yolks and four whites?
Sorry for the confusion. No, you only need 2 eggs total–separate the whites and beat them to fold into the batter at the end.
I’ve just made the mix and realised your recipe doesn’t call for sugar…is that right? Still need to cook it, but i’m worried because it’s a shared breakfast. Hope it works
Yes, that’s correct! No sugar necessary!
Thank you for sharing your secrets. ? Beating the egg whites made a huge difference! Very ?
Omg omg omg these were the best waffle recipe I have ever made. Eww to Aunt Jeamima and the others. These were so fluffy and the fiancé said these were the best I’ve even made. I didn’t even have all the ingredients (only had 1 cup milk, used water for 3/4) and it was still perfect.
Jeez sorry about the typos in my last post.
This is my first time commenting that I’ve been making this recipe for several months now and I love it. Sometimes I sprinkle some icing sugar on top of the raw batter as I’m closing the waffle maker lid and it makes it crispy or on top. I’ve also tried this with sprinkles of granulated sugar gives it a nice caramelized almost I got a little crest
What waffle iron do you have?
I use this one (aff link) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TYBWIG/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=taste03e-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000TYBWIG&linkId=4c2a9f1e2c58f4a25dbd2bac6da511b2
What is the best way to keep the leftover batter? These are so delicious but there are only two of us so we can’t possibly eat all in one morning.
I would suggest making all of the waffles with the leftover batter, and freezing the extra cooked waffles 🙂
I put leftover batter in a bottle blender and shake it up. Sometimes need to add a little milk to thin out a bit but it’s perfect to pour from too!
I’ve tried several waffle recipes and this is by far the best!
So so so very yummy ?
Fantastic recipe!
Great recipe turned out perfect. Thank you very much for saving the morning
I added a dash of vanilla extra. Delicious and the family loved them.
I added vanilla as well! Perfection!
Hi what oil can you use instead of vegetable or canola ? Thanks ?
Coconut oil would work 🙂
Turned out and tastes great!!!
Excellent recipe. 5 stars here
They are delicious the recipe is just fine!!
I doubled the recipe but only used 4 tsps of baking powder, and it was fantastic. Lovely recipe, everyone ate them up super fast. I love the whipped egg whites and how fluffy they make the recipe!
Is there Sugar in this recipe? Cant imagine a flour based recipe without a little sugar.
No sugar 🙂
doubled the recipe and made 13 waffles. Family gave rave reviews. Very light inside.
Waffles turned out perfect! I followed the recipe exactly, and I got fluffy, golden waffles. Thank you for sharing.
Waffles end up very oily, ratio to flour and milk too high on the oil. should be closer to 1/3 cup
Thank you for sharing your fantastic recipe! Finally got a waffle maker after thinking for years we didn’t need another gadget. Your recipe is flawless and so delicious!
Is it the whites from the two separated eggs, plus two more?
You only need two eggs total. Separate the yolks from the whites, and beat the whites.
Just packing for work over here and would gladly have a bite or two or ……………… more 🙂
