Recipe: Original Belgian Waffles

Belgian waffles are one of those dishes that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere, whether it's breakfast, lunch or dessert.

Belgian waffles they are rectangular in shape with four squares on the surface, thick and crispy. The batter for Belgian waffles can be a bit more buttery and dense than regular waffles and contains yeast, which creates a characteristic bubble effect during baking.

The taste is slightly sweet and vanilla, usually served with ice cream, cream, fruit or chocolate. Original Belgian waffles differ from American waffles, which are thin and have less yeast.
