Gaufres (Authentic Belgian Waffles) image

A recipe so authentic that I had to convert from grams and translate from French! These waffles are rich and delicious (don't bother with syrup!), and the basic recipe is from a Belgian friend of mine.

Time 20m

Yield 12 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar, plus
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, melted,plus
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Separate the 4 eggs, adding the yolks to the sugar and setting the whites aside for later use.
  • Add the flour and butter to the yolk and sugar mixture, first by stirring and then by working the mixture into a uniform dough with your hands.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy: when you lift the beater from the whites, soft peaks should form and then fall back, not holding much shape.
  • Crumble the dough and drop the pieces into the egg whites.
  • Stir by mashing the pieces of dough into the whites with a spoon, then stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.
  • Heat up a waffle iron.
  • When it is hot (but not too hot), drop the batter onto the iron in the desired serving size.
  • I usually get about 12 waffles roughly 4-5 inches in diameter from this recipe.
