Breakfast Belgians

Wednesday, January 9, 2013
On weekends (and holidays) Dad whips together his specialty- Homemade Belgian Waffles. He's significantly up'ed his game in the last couple of years, moving from a box mix to a recipe completely from scratch. And today, I'm sharing the secret recipe with you :)

Belgian Waffle Recipe

Ingredients
•       1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
•       3 cups warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
•       3 eggs
•       3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm
•       1/2 cup white sugar
•       1 1/2 teaspoons salt
•       2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•       4 cups (20 oz.) all-purpose flour

Directions
1.      In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in about 1/4 cup of the warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2.      In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, another 1/4 cup of the warm milk and the melted butter. Stir in the yeast mixture, sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir in the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk alternately with the flour, ending with the flour.
3.      Cover the bowl and either let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or put in the refrigerator overnight.
4.      Preheat the waffle iron. Brush with oil and spoon about 1/2 cup (or as recommended by manufacturer) onto center of iron. Close the lid and bake until the waffle is golden brown. Serve immediately or
keep warm in 200 degree oven.
