BELGIAN WAFFLES
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all-purpose flour (White
Lily)
1 cup cake flour
Swans Down
brand
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon
Morton table salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon (pinch) ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 large eggs separated
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups milk or evaporated milk
1 cup unsalted
butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and baking powder. In
another bowl, lightly beat egg yolks. Add milk, melted butter and
vanilla; mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
Do not over mix otherwise waffles will be tough.
Spray waffle iron with non-stick vegetable spray; add batter to preheated
waffle iron and bake according to manufacturer's directions until golden
brown. Serve with strawberries or fruit of your choice, whipped cream
and Vermont Grade A maple syrup.
YIELD: 10 waffles (about 4-1/2 inches) or 6 seven (7) inch diameter
wafflesBelow pixs of my Belgian Patriotic Waffles; red, white and blue.
Above Belgian Waffle served on 07-19-13 with home made
strawberry sauce, fresh sliced
strawberries, fresh blueberries and
Reddi wip whipping cream. The
waffles tasted fantastic without any sauce or topping; were light and melt
in your mouth. The pinch of ground cloves was my own touch and really
adds a nice unusual flavor to them but not overpowering.

NOTES: I used an inexpensive
Presto 03510 Flip Side Belgian Waffle Maker and it took 1 cup of waffle
batter to completely fill the waffle grids and they were golden brown and
fluffy when timed at 2 minutes. The waffles from this waffle maker are
very thick, one inch plus and one waffle will about max one person out
unless you have a humongous appetite.....grin if you must.
My bride was very impressed with the flavor and texture of the Belgian
Waffle along with my home made strawberry sauce. I used 1/2 cup of
whipping cream and 1 cup of regular milk instead of just using just 1 1/2
cups of Carnation evaporated
milk. If you want to spend some extra bucks, go with the
Kitchen Aid Pro Line Waffle Maker model # KPWB100.
I did batch of Belgian Waffles on 07-13-13 and used only strawberry sauce
and whipping cream and one of my lovely food critics in Cheraw, SC advised me the pictures of
the plated waffle would look much better with fresh sliced strawberries as
far as color appeal, boldness and presentation and I have to agree with her
100 percent but as far as taste goes, no way! I did have plans to add
fresh sliced strawberries in addition to the strawberry sauce thinking I had
another partial carton but couldn't find them....my bride might have snacked
on them or it could have been myself....grin if you must!. The fresh home made
strawberry sauce really complemented the Belgian Waffles. Next time, I
will do a picture using fresh sliced strawberries just for her and throw in
a few fresh hand picked blueberries for color contrast too ......grin if
you must!
