For light, fluffy, Belgian waffles, this recipe is the best! The special trick is to get the crisp on the outside, but light and soft in the center texture that we all love is to separate the egg yolks and whites, and to beat the egg whites! The beaten egg whites get folded into the batter at the end, and the result is absolutely amazing Belgian waffles!

These deep pockets are perfect for holding delicious pools of syrup! Different Belgian waffle pans cook square, rectangular, or round waffles.
