I recently purchased a professional Belgium waffle maker. I have a traditional waffle maker, which I use to make waffles to freeze so my kids can have them for breakfast on short notice, but I wanted something more. I like to entertain in the morning, brunch is my favorite meal, because you can be with friends and still have the rest of the day to yourself.
To me, there’s something about a Belgium waffle that says “wow.” Top them with some fruit, syrup, and whipped cream, and you’ve created the ultimate indulgent breakfast for a special occasion, or just an incredible start to a lazy weekend morning.
If you are going to make Belgium waffles, you need a divine recipe to go along with it. Every once in a while, I come across a recipe that I just have to share with the world. Recently, I discovered the recipe for “Waffles of Insane Greatness.” While the name caught my eye, the reviews confirmed that they were indeed “insanely great” and even more. They are the perfect recipe for a Belgium waffle maker: light, fluffy, and crispy, with just a hint of vanilla.
Be forewarned: There are two issues with these waffles. The first is the yield. If you use a Belgium waffle maker, there is no way to get four servings out of this recipe despite what it says. You will need to double it. If you want freezable leftovers, triple it.
Secondly, you need to serve them immediately one at a time or keep them warm on a cookie sheet in a preheated oven, usually set to 250 to 300 degrees. Waffles that sit will become soggy and lose their “insanely great” status.
We can’t let that happen!
