Photo: Belgian Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- Nonstick vegetable spray for coating waffle iron
- Confectioners' sugar
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream, recipe follows
- Ice cream, optional
Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioner' sugar
- 1 tablespoon maraschino liqueur or Kirsch (for a non-alcoholic substitution, use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
Directions
Preheat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix together just until combined (DON'T OVERMIX THE BATTER!). The batter should look slightly lumpy.
Spray the waffle iron with the nonstick vegetable spray. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter or the amount recommended by the waffle-iron maker onto the waffle iron; bake as directed by the manufacturer.
Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the cream until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and maraschino. Whip to soft, fluffy peaks, about 2 minutes.
Dust finished waffles with confectioners' sugar and top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or ice cream, if desired. Serve hot off the griddle.

I cut the butter in half and was good, I know it would be better with all the butter but not necessary.

Tasty and easy! I've tried recipes where you beat the egg whites separately and fold in but this recipe is so much quicker. Also, I've done it with both all purpose and cake flour but the cake flour does give it a lighter, finer texture so worth hunting for cake flour at the store. Cake flour use to be so easy to fine and I've been to 3 different chains to find it -- finally had to use the whole wheat pastry flour from Whole Foods -- the whole wheat gives it a nutty flavor which isn't bad and definitely more healthy. Will continue to search for Downs cake flour! I also throw in a little vanilla extract. Enjoy!

Very nice recipe :
I added cinnamon and vanilla to taste, in the melted butter before incorporating with th dry ingredients.
Another few variations: dint have buttermilk so I made some (measured a little less than 1/2 cup of milk and about 1 tbsp of vinegar also added a bit more butter (about 1/8 of a cup.
All around, the waffles were extremely fluffy and tasty. Made them for an office party. Everyone was happy : I did not make the whipped cream provided in this recipe.
