This is for a small recipe that makes about 3 or 4 Belgian waffles. Double it for more.
Hot waffle iron oiled if required.
1 cup flour (can use white / whole wheat mixture if you want)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/3 cup butter melted (can also use oil but the butter will make it lighter and crispier)
1 cup milk or buttermilk (plus a few extra tablespoons might be necessary when mixing)
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl mix eggs, milk and melted butter or oil and add to dry to blend.
At this stage you can add things to the batter if you like such as fruit, chocolate chips, chunks of ham or cheese. Or make a few plain waffles then add your additions for the last few waffles.
Pour about ½ cup batter onto the hot iron. You might need a bit more depending on the size of your waffle iron.
Leave the iron closed until done, a few minutes.
Serve hot with some butter and Canadian maple syrup or berries and fruit, whipped cream, jam, possibilities are endless.
Leftover waffles?
Do not waste them. They can be stored in a Ziploc bag or sealed container and frozen for a few days or a week then pop them into the toaster or oven to heat up.
Bon Appetit!
