Pro-Tips​​

This fluffy Belgian waffles recipe is virtually fail-proof. However, we’ve got a few extra tips to make sure it turns out perfect every single time. 

• Avoid Overmixing. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped egg whites into the rest of the batter, stopping as soon as the ingredients are well combined and smooth. Continuing to mix will result in dense, tough waffles, which we definitely don’t want! 
• Let the Batter Rest. This allows the gluten enough time to relax which helps the batter fluff up, becoming light and delicious. 
• Preheat Your Waffle Iron. You want to make sure your waffle iron is super hot before you add the batter. This will ensure that the waffles cook quickly and evenly and that they don’t stick to the machine. 
• Use a Measuring Cup. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup with spout to pour the batter onto the waffle maker, using about ¾ cup of batter for each waffle. Not only does this method help achieve equal-sized waffles, but it also helps you avoid making a mess trying to transfer batter from the bowl to the iron. 
• Let the Waffles Cool. We know it’s hard to wait, but we highly recommend letting the waffles cool a couple minutes before you dig in. This helps the exterior crisp up, ensuring they’re crunchy on the outside and perfectly soft and fluffy on the inside. 

How to Store and Reheat

Although they tend to disappear fast, this easy Belgian waffles recipe is a great option for meal prep! Leftovers store well and can be heated up for quick breakfasts throughout the week. 

• Refrigerator: Once fully cooled, leftovers can be transferred to a sealable bag or airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
• Freezer: Transfer the waffles to a sealable bag, and place a sheet of wax paper in between each. Then, squeeze out as much air as you can, and keep them frozen for up to 2 months. 
• To Reheat: When you’re ready to eat, warm your waffles either thawed or frozen. The microwave will work. However, for the best results, we recommend opting for the toaster or placing them under the broiler to keep them crisp.
