Everyday Belgian Waffles

Occasionally you want something special for breakfast. Belgian waffles are sure to please. Here is my favorite recipe. Hint: a Belgian waffle maker is essential for this recipe to truly shine! It will create a thicker waffle contributing to a crisp outside and a light and fluffy center!

Everyday Belgian Waffles

1 3/4 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 beaten egg yolks
1 1/4 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
4 stiff beaten egg whites

In medium bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt with a whisk.
In another bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, and oil.
In a medium glass bowl, beat the egg whites with a beater until they are stiff.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until mixed well. Gently fold in the egg whites just until mixed.
Heat a Belgian waffle iron. Pour in about 1 cup of batter and cook until crisp.

Serve with homemade blueberry syrup, maple syrup, or jelly.

Tip: Short on syrup? Make your own! Add 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon maple flavoring to a small saucepan. Heat until sugar is dissolved and bubbly. Refrigerate any leftover syrup in a glass jar. It can then be easily warmed in the microwave at a later time.
