Belgium Waffles Recipe - SORTED EATS

We're tackling the Great American Breakfast , and these are our waffles .

We're gonna serve them with fresh Berries , cream and syrup .

And better than that , we're gonna show you how to make them .

If you haven't got a waffle line , there's three easy SAGES to making our waffle batter .

We need the dry ingredients , the kind of the wet ingredients , and then to make them really light and fluffy egg white cool .

Fold in at the end to start with the dry stuff we've got flour , baking powder and salt .

Now these are weighed out in grammes , so they're very , very precise .

Obviously cups more tradition .

So in America , you can do exactly that as well .

Just convert them really easy conversions for dry ingredients , sugar as well .

And then , if you can just mix that up with a spoon , Sure , and that's it .

Easy as that .

Push that to one side and look at out set , OK , eggs crack on the side .

We want the whites in that bowl and the yolks over .

Yeah , lovely .

Is this a good time to talk about why we think waffles are American ?

Yes .

Why do you think a waffle is American funny ?

you should mention that .

Actually , er Ben cos I was doing some research just before we started filming this .

And waffles aren't American .

Of course they're not .

They're European .

Belgium .

So two things we need to whisk together .

If you can just do our egg whites , I can't help but notice it seems a lot bigger in America .

If we want peaks into here and into our egg yolks , we're gonna add our milk , plus the very simple flavour of vanilla extract .

OK , so just about a teaspoon of that .

Oh , have you not got a machine that could do this ?

No .

Ah , I'm gonna put our egg yolks , milk and vanilla extract into all our dry ingredients and whisk that together until we've got quite a thick batter .

I'm happy with that cook .

Perfect .

Perfect .

So this can all go into our batter and then fold it in really gently .

It's all that air that makes these light and fluffy along with the baking powder .

So there we go .

The batter is done to cook them .

We need to take a stick of butter and just rub it over our waffle line .

This will stop them from sticking .

So that sounds like an American breakfast to me .

So we just fill them up so they're just full and then clamp it down and they need about two or three minutes .

Meanwhile , we can do exactly the same over this side , and then we'll do round ones here , So waffles can , of course , be of any shape and size you do .

Square ones should do round ones rectangular ones , while we wait for those to cook .

Jamie , can you whip us up some cream ?

So this is double cream or heavy whipping cream .

If you can just whip that up to , we've got soft peaks and I'm gonna prep some of our Berries , so stop moving stuff around .

I need this ball of Berries , right cream .

Done .

Also , if you can just put it into there , a little bit of syrup over there in the cream .

Well , I think we'll mix in later on .

So just the final stages .

Now , as we plate up some of our square ones , nice and golden , the butter and the pan will help with that and then plenty of fresh Berries .

So we've got blueberries and literally look at this scatter .

Oh , nothing more than that .

Amazing .

And if you get them on the grill , even better , a few for us is .

What about those ones ?

That is , the more fruit the better .

Gonna look good .

It's gonna taste great .

Now , this is our take on the Great American Breakfast of Waffles .

But did we get it right ?

We need you to tell us .

What else would you put on this topping ?

We've gone for Berries and cream with a little bit of syrup , but we wanna hear yours sorted .

I don't know how to go in with this .

Ben .

Do I go hands in hot ?

Or do I get cutlery ?

Your choice .

But don't forget the cream and the syrup .

I'm gonna go in cutlery , then .

Oh , that is really good .

I love maple syrup .

We don't have maple syrup enough in the UK .

What about the ones without the waffle line ?

Just as good on flavour , right ?

It's slightly less crispy on the outside , Just as fluffy on the inside .

I love that
