Best Ever Buttermilk Belgian Waffles

Belgian Waffles

from the kitchenwhisperer.net

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (has to be buttermilk)
• 1/3 cup melted butter, unsalted
• 1 egg, room temperature and separated
• 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Instructions

1. In a bowl beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking 
   powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
3. Add the milk, butter, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla and mix 
   just until combined. Do not overmix as you do not want 
   air in this. Some lumps are OK.
4. Gently fold in the egg whites until combined. Do not deflate 
   the egg whites. This is what will give your waffles that 
   light texture.
5. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
6. Heat a waffle iron.
7. Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles.
8. Serve immediately hold in a 200 degree oven, directly 
   on the rack. I would not recommend stacking them as they 
   are heavy and may get smushed or soggy on the plate.

Notes

To freeze, allow to cool completely and wrap individually in plastic wrap.

To reheat just place frozen in the toaster.

We personally like a sweeter waffle so when I make them I like almost a 1/2

cup however you can certainly add the lesser amount
