Belgian waffles with fruit — the classic recipe for a crispy breakfast

Time and servings

Time: Preparation 15 minutes + baking 20 minutes | Servings: 4 people (8 waffles)

Ingredients

• 250 g flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 400 ml milk
• 2 eggs
• 80 g melted butter (plus a little for greasing the waffle iron)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

For serving: fresh strawberries and banana, maple syrup, powdered sugar

Preparation steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla.
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix with gentle movements until you get a smooth batter; do not overmix, so the waffles come out fluffy.
4. Heat the waffle iron and grease it lightly with butter.
5. Ladle in the batter (about half a cup for each waffle) and bake for 3–5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
6. Serve immediately with fresh strawberries and banana, maple syrup and powdered sugar on top.
