How to Make Belgian Waffles with Pre-Mix

Prepare the Dry Mix: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 2 tbsp drinking chocolate, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp baking soda. You can store this dry mix in an airtight jar for later use.
Add Wet Ingredients: When ready to cook, pour in ¾ cup milk, 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla essence, and 1 tsp coffee (optional). Whisk everything until you get a thick, lump-free batter.
Cook the Waffles: Preheat your mini waffle maker and lightly grease it. Pour small amounts of batter into the waffle plates and cook for 3–5 minutes until golden, crispy on the outside, and soft inside.
Decorate and Serve: Serve warm and top with hazelnut chocolate spread, white chocolate drizzle, crushed crispy wafer chocolates, or dried rose petals for a beautiful, party-perfect presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions Belgian Waffles

Q1. Could I prepare the batter for the Belgian Waffles in advance?

Don't prepare the batter in advance because the raising agents can lose their rising properties, and the Waffles may end up flat. Rather, prepare first all the dry ingredients and keep them in an airtight container. Once you are ready to cook, add the wet ingredients to have a fresh, fluffy batter.

Q2. What is the best way of storing leftover Belgian Waffles?

All the Waffles can be cooled fully and then put in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator and stored for up to 3 days. They can be frozen, up to 2 months, and stored longer.

Q3. What is the best way to warm up chocolate Belgian Waffles?

Reheating them and having them crispy is done best in a toaster.

Q4. Is it possible to skip coffee from the batter?

Absolutely! The coffee is not compulsory, but it will only add color to the chocolate. If you do not want to add it, you can.

Q5. May I use a normal Waffle machine in place of a mini one using this recipe?

Yes! It is only necessary that you adjust the amount of batter according to the size of your Waffle maker and cook till the Waffles are golden brown and crisp.
