The Belgian Waffle is one of my favorite types of waffles due to its huge size, fancy toppings and unlimited wow factor. If you are looking to surprise or impress someone, the Belgian waffle is the way to go. It’s identified buy it’s larger than average size, light batter, and high grid pattern. It uses yeast to make instead of baking powder. The recipe I’m showing below is straight from Belgium and is one of the few that actually doesn’t use yeast, instead it uses whipped egg whites. 

What’s interesting to know is if you go to Belgium itself, there is no single type of waffle identifies as the ‘Belgian Waffle’ as it does not exist. They have different varieties like the Brussels waffle and the stroopwafel. Try it out and see for yourself!
