good heavens!! You're killin' me here, too!
What the heck is 'Belgian waffle mix'? Any batter works in a Belgian waffle maker.....yes?

Well, I have a Begian waffle maker. You can use regular waffle mix in it. But to make TRUE Belgian waffles, you have to whip the egg whites and fold them in. I have never done it because it seemed like a lot of trouble and my kids would never know the difference.
But there is a difference. I have never used Belgian waffle mix. Never knew there was such a thing.

I almost always whip the whites and add - didn't know it was a Belgian thing, tho...
When I started making waffles I don't think there was even a "Belgian" waffle iron - at least available to the 'common folk.'

I think there is yeast in the Belgian waffles too. Like I said, I have never done it. I just remember looking online and at the recipes that came with the machine and it seemed there were slight differences, and a lot more work than I was willing to put into it.
Maybe someone else with more knowledge can help explain the regular waffle v. Belgian waffle difference. Any experts out there?

This recipe looks amazing! I can't wait to try it. A trip to the basement is in order to get the waffle irons out...
