How to Make Belgian Brussels Waffles
- 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.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks with a fork.
- 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.
- Add the wet ingredients (melted butter mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the yeasted milk mixture into the batter.
- Carefully fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- 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.
- Preheat your Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron if needed.
- Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup.
