Traditional Belgian waffles make for the sweetest treat! Use this recipe for Christmas breakfast, Valentine’s brunch, or a Mother’s Day surprise.
In a small bowl, pour in the lukewarm milk and dry yeast, set aside while the yeast dissolves in the milk. In a large mixing bowl, mix in the flour, salt, and softened butter. Once they are combined, add the eggs and vanilla. Next, combine the milk and yeast mixture with the flour mixture. Mix well. An electric mixer works best because the dough will be stiff and balled together. Make sure all the ingredients are well mixed. Set the dough aside and let it rise for 30 minutes. Stir in the Belgian Pearl Sugar. Place one baseball-size dough ball in the center of a preheated Belgian waffle iron on medium heat, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown. (We did a slightly smaller ball of dough because we thought the round unfinished edges would look cute. And it worked.) Serve with you choice of topping. We chose to top our Belgian waffles with fresh berries and whipped cream.Traditional Belgian Waffles

May 15, 2015 at 3:00 pmThe recipe calls for dry yeast, but when you click the yeast hyperlink it takes to an instant yeast in your store. So should I use instant or regular? Thanks for the recipe!

May 9, 2015 at 12:37 pmOh, good catch! This recipe made about 10 waffles. And because these waffles are so rich, 1-2 waffles a person is about all I usually account for. I’d love to hear how they turn out!
