These came from a grandmother to one of the girls in our youth group. She was born in Belgium and this is her family recipe – they are rich and lovely. I use splenda now for the recipe as my son is diabetic, but it works with sugar beautifully too. These are the ones you only eat once a year! Great as dessert waffles too!
I had Belgian waffles in the Hotel where we were staying and they were so good. I found out that the Hotel used a mix and I tried various recipes to try to get a match. I combined a few recipes to get this one and I think it is very close to the original.
This recipe is an adaptation of “Favorite Belgian Waffles” on VegWeb. They don’t taste exactly like a Belgian waffle (there is a subtle banana taste), but the texture is right and they don’t stick to the waffle iron – a definite plus for us!
Recently I took a cooking class at Sur La Table in Connecticut, with my mom and niece. One of the recipes we made was this. Boy was it so good. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
These are really pretty simple to make and very good! My husband is always grateful when I make them. You can use reduced-fat sour cream successfully (if you wish). I have made a batch ahead of time and used them throughout the week as well.
