Krusteaz Belgian Waffle Mix
What it is
This is a dry mix designed to create authentic Belgian-style waffles. It contains flour, leavening agents, and other necessary components to achieve a light and airy texture with the characteristic deep pockets of a Belgian waffle. The mix is formulated for convenience, allowing home cooks to prepare these special treats without measuring many individual ingredients.
How people cook with it
This mix is ideal for making breakfast or brunch waffles. It can also be used for dessert applications.
- Breakfast waffles
- Brunch dishes
- Dessert waffles
- Sweet and savory toppings
To prepare the waffles, you will typically combine the dry mix with wet ingredients such as eggs, milk, and oil or melted butter. The batter is then cooked in a hot waffle iron until golden brown and cooked through. The deep pockets are perfect for holding syrup, butter, fruit, or whipped cream. You can adjust the consistency of the batter slightly to achieve your desired thickness and crispness.
How it differs from similar foods
Belgian waffles, often made with this type of mix, are distinct from standard American waffles due to their thicker batter and deeper grid pattern. This results in a crispier exterior and a tender interior, providing more surface area for toppings.

How to keep the rest
After preparing the waffles, store any remaining batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Unused dry mix should be kept in its original packaging in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
