Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 3/4 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Butter, melted (unsalted)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to heat up fully to ensure the waffles develop crisp edges.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Some lumps are fine to keep the waffles tender and fluffy.
- Grease and Cook: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour about 3/4 cup of batter onto the waffle grid, close the lid, and cook for 4–6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm. Top with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps help keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron; refer to your appliance's instructions.
- Melted butter can be substituted with vegetable oil if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, preheat the waffle iron thoroughly before pouring batter.
- Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
