Description
If you are wondering what exactly sets this apart from other breakfast items, the answer lies in the structure. A Belgian Waffles with Berries recipe specifically utilizes a waffle iron with a deeper grid pattern. These deep wells are designed to hold generous amounts of melted butter, maple syrup, and, most importantly, fresh fruit juices.
Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1¾ cups whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Optional: whipped cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until just combined (do not overmix).
- Cook the waffles:
- Preheat your Belgian waffle iron and lightly grease it.
- Pour batter into the iron (about ½–¾ cup per waffle, depending on size).
- Cook until golden brown and crisp (usually 4–5 minutes).
- Prepare the berry topping:
- In a bowl, toss berries with honey and lemon juice.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to release juices.
- Assemble and serve:
- Place waffles on a plate, spoon berry mixture over the top.
