Recipe FAQ’s
Belgian waffles have deeper pockets than American-style waffles, which makes them great for holding lots of little pools of syrup and fruit toppings. The texture is lighter and crispier. They require a Belgian waffle maker with a deeper, larger grid pattern. Most Belgian waffle recipes are yeast-based, to get that crispy texture, but we are using a waffle batter that has baking powder for leavening and beaten egg whites for lightness.
Whipping the egg whites with a mixer adds extra air to the batter helping to make them fluffy.
