These easy Belgian waffles are light, crispy, and perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch. With a simple batter and no special ingredients, you can enjoy classic waffles in just a few minutes.

Three golden-brown waffle quarters are stacked slightly overlapping on the left side of a white plate, each waffle having a crisp, grid texture filled with shiny syrup and topped with small dollops of softened white butter. To the right of the waffles, two round, dark brown sausage patties with a slightly rough texture rest side by side. The plate sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg
3/4 cup Water
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Step 1: Into a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2: Add the egg, half of the water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until smooth.
Step 3: Pour in the remaining water and stir to combine the batter thoroughly.
Step 4: Preheat and grease your waffle iron. Pour in enough batter to cover the surface, then cook for about 2 1/2 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Step 5: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Tips & Variations

For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg yolk and white. Whip the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter.
Substitute water with milk or buttermilk for richer flavor and texture.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice touch.
Try adding chocolate chips or blueberries directly into the batter before cooking.

Storage

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispiness. For longer storage, freeze waffles in a sealed bag for up to 1 month; reheat directly from frozen.

FAQs

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a quick stir before cooking to ensure even consistency.

What if I don’t have a waffle iron?

While waffles need a waffle iron to get their classic shape and texture, you can use a non-stick skillet to make pancakes with this batter instead.
