Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Belgian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until thoroughly blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
- Preheat your Belgian waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron, following the manufacturer's recommended quantity.
- Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Gently fold fresh raspberries into the cooked waffles or arrange them on top as a garnish.
- Serve immediately with additional fresh raspberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for the best texture. A hot iron will help create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside fluffy.
- Grease It Up: Lightly grease your waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of your waffles.
- Keep Them Crisp: After cooking, place your waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them. This prevents steam from making them soggy and helps maintain their crispness.
- Garnish Creatively: Don't hold back on the toppings! Fresh raspberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup can take your waffles to the next level.
- Make Ahead: If you want to save time, prepare the dry ingredients in advance and store them in an airtight container. Just add the wet ingredients when you’re ready to cook!
