Classic Belgian Waffles
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy outside
and are soft and moist on the inside.
They are often served as part of a
celebration – even to celebrate something as
simple as a beautiful day. Try these waffles
with your favorite syrup or a topping such as
sliced fresh strawberries and freshly
whipped cream.
Makes 10 waffles
1½ cups water, divided
2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
(one packet)
1
⁄3 cup sugar
3 cups sifted, unbleached,
all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated +
1 egg white
1½ cups whole milk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter,
melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Heat ½ of the water to lukewarm,
105°F–110°F. 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
remaining 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 mixture 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
batter. Let the batter stand for 1 hour,
stirring every 15 minutes.
Preheat your Cuisinart

on setting #4 or preferred
setting* (green indicator light will be
illuminated when preheated).
Use the measuring cup to measure one
scoop of the batter and pour into the
preheated waffle plate. Use a heatproof
spatula to spread the batter evenly over
the grids. Close lid and rotate waffle
maker 180˚. Bake the waffles until
beeper indicates that the waffle is done.
Rotate waffle maker 180˚ and remove
waffle. Repeat until all batter is used.
Waffles may be kept warm in a low
(200°F) oven. Place waffles arranged on
a cookie sheet on a rack in the warm
oven. Serve with whipped cream, fruit,
jam, powdered sugar, or a warm fruit
syrup.
For best results, do not open waffle/
omelet maker during cooking process.
Doing so will throw off the timing
mechanism.
*We recommend using setting #4 to
achieve a golden-brown baked Belgian
waffle. Adjust the browning control if
you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
