Thanks to my aunt who married into a Flemish family, this Belgian waffle recipe is as authentic as it gets, and is one she has used many times. The results are great!
Here is the recipe (though I made my batch 1/4 of the amount called for, which yielded 4 medium to small waffles):
8 cups flour
4 eggs
2 cups butter
3 oz milk
22 oz sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
Dash of vanilla extract
Combine ingredients and let it sit for 2 hours. Preheat waffle iron. Mix batter before adding to griddle. Done!
NOTE: I had to convert from metric to US measuring standards, which did alter amounts on top of my attempt to make a smaller portion. It worked out and was just sweet enough, with no need for anything on them. I ate them one-handed.
