Real Belgian Waffles?!


Light Fluffy Yeasty Waffles with Black Current Jam, Maple Syrup and Butter

Start making the batter the night before (this recipe is way too much work)

Belgian Waffle Batter

1/2cup warm water
2.25tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1T sugar
Dissolve yeast in warm water, add yeast and let stand for 10-15 min until foamy

3cups flour
1/4tsp salt
3 large eggs separated
1 large egg
1/3cup sugar
1cup water
1.5cups milk
1 stick butter, melted
2tsp oil
2tsp vanilla

Mix egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, water, milk , butter, oil, vanilla
Once yeast mixture is foamy add to egg mixture
Mix wet mixture with the flour and salt until smooth
Let sit at room temperature for 1hour
Cover and refrigerate overnight
In the morning whip egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into yeast batter
Pour into pre-heated waffle maker.

This recipe is good but not worth the work.. just bust out the Aunt Jemima.
