These waffles. They’re everything. After trying countless waffle recipes out there, I have finally developed one that I am truly in love with. No joke, I have made these over and OVER again. It’s not a perfect waffle if you don’t get those light crispy edges with a soft fluffy interior. But I am finally proud to say this recipe combines the best of both worlds. The secret? Fluffy beaten egg whites.
Earl Grey Belgian Waffles
These Earl Grey Belgian waffles are crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and infused with the delicate floral notes of tea. Topped with a cloud of whipped cream and a vibrant berry compote, they’re a fragrant and elegant twist on a breakfast classic.
