Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60g) cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, separated (whites and yolks)
  • 1 ¾ cups (415ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the yolks and whisk until smooth.
  4. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Pour the yolk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; the batter will be thick with some lumps.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula to keep it light and fluffy.
  7. Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick spray or butter. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) of batter onto the center. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack in a single layer to keep them crisp.
  9. To make the whipped cream, chill a mixing bowl and beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Avoid overbeating.
  10. Serve waffles topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and your favorite toppings like fresh berries or maple syrup.

Notes

For gluten-free waffles, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend containing xanthan gum. Use dairy-free milk and coconut cream for a vegan version. Avoid overmixing batter and overbeating whipped cream. Use a cooling rack to keep waffles crisp. Reheat leftovers in toaster or oven, not microwave.
