Breakfast winners! That's what these scrumptious waffles are. They won 99.99% of the time when coming as a choice for breakfast or dessert but especially for a weekend breakfast. Oh yes!
Those waffles are yummy, they are crisp on the outside and puffy and feathery on the inside. Really light and served with a dollop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce it's all you really want and need.
This recipe has been trialled and tried again, ingredients were added, some removed and ultimately was mastered. This is the end result. It’s a recipe that I have made and changed few times and have come to this which to me it is the perfect result. Make it and you will see what I mean.
classic waffles vs Belgian waffles
There are some differences between the two:
Classic waffles
- are made using baking powder;
- they have shallower grid patterns;
- are a little denser compared to the Belgian waffles;
Belgian waffles
- are thicker and have a richer texture than regular waffles;
- are traditionally made with yeast;
- they are often larger and have deeper grid patterns and are often round in shape;
- fluffy and airy inside and crispy on the outside
Waffles topping options
I don't wanna tell you about occasional little waffle kitchen failures which with trial sometimes happens too but we don't really mind or even notice. They are still edible, that's why!
to which you could add other bits like nuts, seeds, mushed apples, blueberries or whatever fruits you fancy, either added in or left out to drizzle as a sauce when you eat them.
Amazing stuff anything you may choose.
