The ingredients for this waffle recipe
Flour : you can opt for wheat or spelt. It gives texture to the waffles.
Chemical yeast : this is what allows the waffles to rise well (quickly) in the waffle iron.
Milk : you can opt for cow's milk or vegetable milk, as you prefer. At room temperature if possible.
Unsalted butter : it contributes to the softness, you can also choose semi-salted butter.
Light brown sugar : I prefer to use it rather than classic powdered sugar, it gives a slight caramelized taste.
Eggs : at room temperature if possible. We beat the egg whites to bring lightness to the dough.
Vanilla, salt : these are flavor enhancers for this recipe.
How to make Brussels waffles?
You need a good waffle maker. I found mine a while ago, and I'm really happy with it: it's a Frifri double thermostat waffle maker (a Belgian brand). The panels are robust and interchangeable, I can make Brussels waffles, Liège waffles, croque-monsieur...
So we start by beating the whisked egg whites. Apart from, we mix the dry ingredients then we make a well to pour the wet ingredients. Smooth well and add the snow whites delicately last.
All that's left to do is pour it into the waffle iron preheated, and bake two by two. As for the filling, I opted for slightly sweetened whipped cream, and fresh fruit: strawberries & blueberries. A real treat... The ten waffles won't have lasted all day!

Hello
When to add vanilla extract?
Thank you
Hello Lili, it's an oversight on my part, I just added it to the recipe: we put the vanilla with the eggs and the milk. See you soon :)
Hi! I wanted to know if it was normal that the waffles are not very thick? I expected waffles like in the fairs
Hello Emma, the waffles you should get are the ones you see in the photos of the recipe, they are light as the title of the recipe indicates. If you want really thick waffles I 100% recommend Liège waffles, here is my recipe: https://liliebakery.fr/gaufre-liegeoise/
