We use a double-sided flipping waffle iron so they are cooked and done all at the same time. No need to keep one warm while waiting for the second one to cook.
Belgian Waffle vs. Regular waffle
Belgian waffles have deeper pockets than American-style waffles, which makes them great for holding lots of little pools of syrup and fruit toppings.The texture is lighter and crispier. They require aBelgian waffle maker with a deeper, larger grid pattern. MostBelgian wafflerecipes are yeast-based, to get that crispy texture, but ourwafflebatter has baking powder for leavening and beaten egg whites for lightness.
Belgian Waffles toppings:
Butter and any flavor Jam or Jelly
Butter and Maple Syrup
Nutella Spread, Chocolate sauce, or Hot Fudge
A light dusting of Powdered Sugar
Any flavor Ice Cream
Sliced or Caramelized Bananas

How to make Fluffy Belgian Waffles
For the classic Belgian Waffle batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Using a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, oil and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir in.
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped egg whites to the batter. Stir until no white streaks remain.
To make 2 Belgian waffles at one time
Preheat a double-sided flipping waffle iron and spray both sides with non-stick spray. Click for a double sided flipping waffle iron.
Pour half of the batter into each side of the double sided waffle iron.
Cook until the waffles are golden brown, about 7 – 10 minutes. Follow the cooking instructions for your specific waffle iron. Mine has lights on it that tell you when to flip it and when it’s done cooking.
Top with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, etc.
