CLASSIC BELGIAN WAFFLES
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy
outside and are soft and moist inside.
They are often served as part of a cele-
bration – even to celebrate something
as simple as a beautiful day. Try these
waffles with your favourite syrup or a
topping such as sliced fresh strawberries
and freshly whipped cream.
Makes 10 waffles:
355 ml water
2¼ tsp active dry yeast (one sachet)
3 cups (ca. 360 g) sifted flour

RECIPES
¼ tsp salt
3 large eggs, separated
1 egg white
1/3 cup (ca. 75 g) sugar
236 ml milk
8 sp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation:
Heat ½ of the water to lukewarm.
Note: Do not use water that is too hot
because the yeast won´t rise. Dissolve
the yeast in the water with a pinch of
the sugar from the recipe; let stand 5
to 10 minutes, until the mixture begins
to foam.
Put the flour and salt into a large bowl;
stir to blend and reserve. Add the egg
yolks, one of the egg whites, and remai-
ning sugar to the yeast mixture; stir to
blend. Add the remaining water, milk,
melted butter, oil, and vanilla; stir until
the mixture is smooth. Stir the liquid mix-
ture into the flour mixture and beat until
the mixture is smooth.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites gently into the bat-
ter. Let the batter stand for 1 hour, stir-
ring every 15 minutes.
Preheat your wafflemaker on setting 4
or preferred setting* (green indicator-
light will be illuminated when preheated)
and act upon the instructions described
in ´Usage`. Serve with whipped cream,
fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm
fruit syrup.
