FAQ
Q: Why are my waffles not crispy on the edges? A: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before you add the batter. Also, try increasing the cooking time slightly for crispier edges. The key to crispy waffles is high heat and enough oil or butter to crisp up the surface.
Q: Can I use a regular waffle maker instead of a Belgian waffle iron? A: Yes! While Belgian waffles are typically thicker and have deep grids, you can easily make these waffles with a regular waffle maker. Adjust the amount of batter and the cooking time based on the size of your waffle iron.
Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time? A: Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Be sure to gently stir it before using, as the batter might thicken slightly overnight.
Q: Can I make this recipe dairy-free? A: Yes, you can substitute the milk with a dairy-free milk option (like almond or oat milk) and use a dairy-free butter substitute.
With this recipe in hand, you’re all set to make the ultimate Belgian waffles with those crispy, golden edges. Perfect for any occasion, these waffles will quickly become a favorite breakfast treat!
