The BEST Belgian Waffles

These waffles are amazing! They are soft and crispy, and the perfect amount of sweet. I found this recipe on the Food Network it is by Emeril Lagasse. I have used it for three years and it is my go to. I have used it on 3 different waffle irons and it works on all three.  This by far is my favorite waffle iron.

Ok, this is a type of recipe that it works the best if you mix it a certain way.  Pull out 3 large bowls. In the first bowl throw together 2 cups of flours, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon with salt.
whisk it all together till it is fluffy. You want to spend a good minute getting this all together.

In the next two bowls you want to separate the egg yolks and the egg whites.









The bowl with the egg whites you want to whip them till they are stiff and peaked.

In the bowl with the egg yolks add 1tsp. vanilla, 2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Whisk all of those together.
Once all three bowls are ready you need to mix the egg yolk mixer together with the dry ingredients.

Mix it together with a whisk a little bit at a time until combined.

Lastly, add in the egg whites. Grab a large spoon and gently mix the whites.
You want it to look like this.

Now for the waffle iron.  This is my favorite waffle iron.  The best part of it is the ceramic, it is completely non stick.  I DON'T use spray WITH THIS iron. It is so nice, I don't get a oily film or soggy on the outside.

I put 1 cup of batter per waffle with this iron. I have it set at a medium crispy and they come out with these gorgeous waffles.
