Muffins & Pancakes: Belgian Waffles

My kids are not big on breakfast foods. They kind of like them, but not really. The only breakfast food they'll eat each and every time is my Belgian Waffles. They love them. This method is streamlined to make whipping them up in the morning simple and easy. You can even make the batter the night before and put it in the fridge overnight.


We've used a Star Wars waffle maker for the waffles in the picture. My kids love Star Wars. This recipe can be used in any waffle maker. Simply pour as much batter into the waffle maker as your appliance can handle.


Ingredients


¼ cup melted butter
2½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2½ cups milk
5 eggs


Preparation


Preheat your waffle maker. I like to use the darkest setting for a crispier waffle, but you can use any setting you like. Whisk together all ingredients until batter is fairly smooth. Don't over mix or your waffles will be tough.


Pour the batter into your heated waffle maker. My waffle maker calls for ½ cup of batter. Yours may need a different amount. Add whatever is needed to fill your waffle maker. Close the lid and leave for approximately 5 minutes. Maybe a little longer if you like your waffles darker.


Remove the waffle from the waffle maker with a fork. Serve immediately with butter, jam, or syrup.


This recipe makes approximately 6 cups of batter. For me, this makes about 12 waffles.
