A quick and easy recipe for crispy, fluffy Belgian waffles topped with fresh berries, perfect for a weekend brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
  • 1¾ cups (415ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 cups fresh berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for 5-7 minutes until hot and ready.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Separate the eggs carefully, placing yolks in a medium bowl and whites in a clean bowl.
  4. To the yolks, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  6. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula, stopping as soon as incorporated.
  8. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray. Pour ½ to ¾ cup (120-180ml) batter onto the waffle grid.
  9. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until waffles are golden and crisp.
  10. Serve immediately topped with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

Separate and whip egg whites for fluffiness. Do not overmix batter to avoid dense waffles. Preheat waffle iron thoroughly for crispiness. Keep cooked waffles warm on a wire rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven to maintain crispness without steaming.
