How to Make Belgian Brussels Waffles

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast over 1/2 cup (120ml) of warm milk (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks with a fork.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) melted unsalted butter, 1 1/4 cups (300ml) warm milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the beaten egg yolks.
  5. Add the wet ingredients (melted butter mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Mix until just combined.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the yeasted milk mixture into the batter.
  8. Carefully fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  9. Cover the bowl and let the batter rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in volume. For best flavor, refrigerate overnight.
  10. Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron if needed.
  11. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
  12. Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
  13. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup.
