Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat your waffle iron. If recommended, lightly grease the cooking surface with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir them together well and set aside.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles tender.
  5. Cook the waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated and greased waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface but not overflow. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For crispier waffles, increase the butter slightly or add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; a few lumps are okay.
  • Allow waffles to cool slightly on a wire rack to retain crispiness before serving.
  • Customize your waffles by adding ingredients such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter before cooking.
  • Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
