Cooking Tips for Belgian Waffle Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Karen for Expert Village. Now we are going to cook our yeast Belgium waffle batter. Remember to pre-heat your waffle iron before you start. Most waffle irons will have two indicator lights; a red one to show that the waffle iron is plugged in and on and a green light to show the waffle iron is hot enough to cook. The green light will also show you when to remove your waffle from the waffle iron. Let me show you we had our yeasted batter in the refrigerator overnight and this is what it should look like. Very full and full of air and we are going to stir that down. You can see that it is a little bit glutenous looking. that is exactly what it should look like. We will stir that down and get the air out of it and it will rise again when we cook it. It has a nice yeasty aroma and when you cook them, it has a nice tangy flavor. I am going to use 1/2 cup of waffle in our waffle maker. You just put 1/2 cup in the grid section and then close that up. It really has a nice yeasty smell to it. Sweet and yeast6y at the same time. We will just wait for the green light to go before we take our waffle out. You want to avoid opening the waffle iron before the green light because you will ruin your waffle iron. It will split in half. My green light has turned off and it has turned on again. That means hat it is time to take those waffles out. You just want to lift the edge like this and when you can get a hold of it, you pull it out pretty quick because it is nice and hot. As soon as you take that out, you put it on a cooling rack and then you just put another scoop right into your waffle maker; 1/2 cup in each grid section and keep on going until your batter is completed. Our green light is on and we are going to remove these waffles from the waffle iron. They really have a nice sweet and tangy smell to them. The yeast batter is really different from other batters. Let's put a little bit more batter in there. A 1/2 cup in each section and close that up. The green light doesn't go off right away but when it comes back on that is when you remove it from the waffle iron. It takes about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to cook the waffle. "
