    Yeasted Belgian Waffles Recipe

    I have tasted waffles in so many cafe, I wonder how they are made because the waffles are so light and so fluffy. Finally I figured out the recipe and the secret ingredient is yeast.

    About Yeasted Waffles Recipe

    Today’s recipe is going to be a delicious crispy yet soft waffles. I have made so many waffles recipe in the past but this one is my favourite because it tastes similar to the store bought ones or the ones which you buy in a Cafe.

    This waffle batter is made with flour, sugar, milk, butter and yeast. The crispy texture is achieved by the baking soda and the egg which we add just before making the waffles. I used my nonstick waffle maker to cook the waffles but if you have a cast-iron then the waffles would be super crispy. Make sure you make the batter early so it has time to fermant.

    This waffle is not an instant recipe you have to plan ahead and make it a day in advance. Because the Batter has to ferment for for few hours.

    What's the Difference Between Belgian and Regular Waffles?

    • Belgian waffle usually has yeast as the leavening agent.
    • This waffle is usually made in a special Belgian waffle iron which has deeper pockets.
    • Belgian waffles is usually crispier than regular waffle.

    Fermentations of the Batter

    Belgian waffle is not the instant kind it has to be made a day in advance preferably overnight. Letting the Batter ferment overnight gives the yeast a chance to activate also the milk added in the Batter ferments slightly and gives sour taste to the waffles. Just make sure to use a large container, as the batter more than doubles in size as it rises overnight.

    Belgian Waffles Toppings

    Various toppings can be used when serving the waffles. Some of my favourite toppings are

    • Powdered sugar dusting for a little bit of sweetness.
    • Drizzling maple syrup or honey is one of my favourite. Just make sure you warm up the maple syrup a little before serving.
    • Fruit compote can be served with the waffle. Fruits like strawberries, raspberries, peaches can be used as per your taste.
    • Chocolate spread can be applied over the waffle. This will be a favourite with your kids.
    • Peanut butter is a good option too.
    • Fruit jams and extra butter make a simple and delicious breakfast option.
