About Brussels waffle

Jeroen Meus's Brussels waffles use a yeast batter lightened with separately beaten egg whites. This rendition belongs to the capital's familiar airy waffle family, with a crisp exterior and a light centre.

Milk, water, butter and self-raising flour form the batter around the eggs and yeast. After resting, it is baked in a thoroughly heated waffle iron until the waffles are golden.

Whipped cream is sweetened with vanilla sugar. Powdered sugar and generous piped tufts of cream finish the freshly baked waffles, leaving the characteristic surface visible beneath the toppings.
