This light Crispy Belgian Waffles recipe will make any breakfast or brunch a hit! Make perfect belgian waffles every time with this easy recipe!
Sometimes kitchen mistakes turn into happy surprises. This recipe was born out of such a situation. I inherited this recipe from a friend of mine, but it made too many waffles for just my husband and I, so I always cut it in half. I’m 100% sure that I’m not the only person that this has happened to, but one Sunday morning I was mentally cutting back the recipe, when I realized that I had cut everything in half-except the baking powder. I considered scrapping it all, but eggs were running at a premium that morning, and I didn’t have enough to start over. So I went with it and decided to see what I ended up with.
I LOVE THESE WAFFLES!
They are my perfect Crispy Belgian Waffles! They are just a touch crispy on the outside, but fluffy inside. I adore them and I will never try another recipe. The best part of these is, I no longer have to cut it in half– they freeze great, and reheat beautifully in the toaster oven! Move over, Eggo.

Looks great and I want to give it a try… But I don’t understand the baking powder measurements 🙁 please explain what I T means 🙁 English is not my mother tongue… Thanks!
Jacqueline says
Hi there- the 1 T is 1 tablespoon. Hope that helps!
Jackie says
Hi Jacqueline
Is this a typo error: 1 tablespoon of kosher salt.
Jacqueline says
It actually isn’t- I use coarse kosher salt and it gives them a great flavor without being inherently salty. Do NOT use 1 T of regular table salt- if that’s what you are going to use, cut it down to 1-1 1/2 tsp.

I tried this recipe first thing Christams morning with my new belgium waffle maker. Wow it turned out great. I used 2T instead of 2t sugar and only added 1 c milk, and cooked them from 4-5 min. Perfect waffles from start to finish. This recipe is a keeper!!
Jacqueline says
Love it!!! Thanks for letting me know. I might just make a batch this morning now.
RM says
Not sure but I think i mixed it wrong .. how do you read the milk? ONE , 3/4 cup or 1 3/4 cup of milk , same with flour. i mixed it with 1 3/4 of each and it was water with lumps.
Jacqueline says
It is 1 cup + 3/4 cup of each. 1 3/4 cups overall.
