Why are Belgian waffles different?

Belgian waffles are thicker and often larger than regular waffles because they are made with a waffle iron that has deeper grids. The Belgian waffle batter is also made a little differently than regular waffles, often with a leavening agent or egg whites (as used in this recipe) to make the batter light and fluffy.

What is the difference between Belgian waffles and buttermilk waffles?

The main difference between the two batters is that Belgian waffles are yeast-based. While both waffle recipes call for baking powder, you typically don’t use as much in a Belgian waffle. Traditional waffles are often made with buttermilk, which gives them a richer flavor.

Can I use milk instead of water in Belgian waffle mix?

Unfortunately, it can. The milk in your waffles acts as a binding agent and adds a level of richness that you just can’t obtain with water alone.

Can I use regular waffle mix in a Belgian waffle maker?

Yes, you can, but it might not work as well. A Belgian waffle iron has deeper pockets because Belgian waffles rise more because the batter uses yeast and beaten egg whites. Meaning more regular batter will need to be added and the waffles cooked for longer.

Can I use pancake mix for Belgian waffles?

To make Belgian waffles with pancake mix, combine 2 cups of pancake mix with 1 1/3 cups of milk, one egg and 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil. While you’ll get delicious waffles with just these simple changes, you can also add some vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to enhance the flavor a little bit.

What happens if you use milk instead of water in waffle mix?

Use milk/ alternative milk instead of water Even though the mix may call for water, you can easily substitute that for an alternative milk (I like oat milk). You may have to add a dash more due to the difference in consistency, but it’ll taste so much better!

What is the difference between a waffle iron and a waffle maker?

Strictly speaking though, there is a difference. Waffle Irons are cast iron devices used to cook waffles over a fire or over your stove top. Waffle Makers are electric appliances used to cook waffles simply by pouring in the batter and turning the device on. Many of these devices can be used for a multitude of things.
