Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 3/4 cups milk (or any milk of choice)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (optional, for serving)

  • Fresh fruit (berries, bananas, or peaches) (optional, for topping)

  • Maple syrup or chocolate sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Waffle Iron:
    Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the plates with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  • Cook the Waffles:
    Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron, filling each section about two-thirds full. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to the waffle iron’s instructions, usually for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

  • Serve:
    Remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly (this helps keep them crispy). Serve immediately with whipped cream, fresh fruit, syrup, or chocolate sauce.

Notes

You can store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.For fluffier waffles, consider separating the egg whites and yolks, whipping the egg whites, and folding them into the batter.Customize the flavor by adding lemon zest, cocoa powder, or even savory ingredients like cheese
