My recipes have been test the results, and made many times at home. Just wanted to share the best recipes to you guys more healthier way to go and taste the good life. they're quite a far cry from the crisp, thick, flavorful waffles I now make every Sunday for brunch.

Ingredients
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup (65ml) sugar
1 teaspoon horlicks (malted milk powder)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg (separated)
½ cup butter (melted)
200ml fresh milk
(Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch for extra crisp)
   
Method:
A) In a large bowl, combine plain flour, sugar, horlicks, baking powder, egg yolk, butter, and milk. mix well. (the mixture will not be fully smooth). Let the batter sit for at room temperature until your egg whites is ready. the whites are whipped separately, see (B) and folded.

B) Beat egg whites until uniformly white, stiff and form soft peaks and fold the egg whites gently into the (A) Batter. your waffles rise with perfectly. (make sure that your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and dry)

C) Cook in the waffle maker, you flip the waffle right, losed lid and rotate 180c degree. after pouring in the ''Batter'', leave it like that for 4-5 minutes duration, closed lid until golden brown and see your waffle maker's baking instructions, try these waffles with your favorite syrup or a topping such as sliced fresh strawberries and condensed milk or freshly whipped cream.




Serving suggestions:
Simply perfect with whipped cream, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, or a warm fruit syrup, mango and maple syrup or whipped cream, banana chocolate, banana peanut butter, ham and cheese. Good Luck! What's your favourite waffles topping?

Freeze them? Yes,  froze these after cooling them, and when reheated, They tasted as they had just been baked. You will be so glad you did.



Helpful Tips:
Different waffle makers are designed to cook waffles differently.
Before using it for the first time, kindly take time to carefully read your instruction manual. Recommend using setting #4 to achieve a golden brown baked Belgian waffle. Adjust the browning control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles. For best results, do not open waffle maker during cooking process. Doing so will offset the timing mechanism. If you use a pan, it will only result in pancakes.
