Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters lukewarm milk
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 30 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
- 0 for serving powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm milk with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and begins to bubble.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar together. Make a well in the center.
Step 3
Pour the yeast mixture into the well, and add the melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Stir until you have a smooth batter, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in volume.
Step 5
After the batter has risen, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt in another bowl until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 8
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of butter or oil.
Step 9
Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the grids without overflowing. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 10
Serve the Brussels waffles immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or any toppings of your choice.
