Easy Belgian Waffles

My twelve-year-old son got a waffle maker for Christmas, so of course, that meant we needed a Belgian Waffle recipe.  After looking around a little, I realized many of these recipes call for yeast and require rising time.  Now, twelve-year-old boys don’t have a lot of patience when it comes to making waffles with their own waffle maker.  I needed a basic recipe that was easy enough for him to make by himself.  

He’s now in the process of learning to make this recipe:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1  tsp vanilla

Separate eggs

Slightly beat egg yolks

Add milk and vanilla to yolks, mixing well

Using highest speed of electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form

Add milk mixture and butter to dry ingredients and mix just until combined

Gently fold egg whites into batter

Be careful not to over mix, batter will be lumpy

Although I did mix this a little more.  Make sure egg white “lumps” aren’t too large

Cook according to waffle maker directions

 We’ve made them together a couple of times and he’s almost ready to make them by himself.
