Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Butterscotch chips
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.75 cups Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed Cooking spray or melted butter
- to taste Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- to taste Butterscotch sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the butterscotch chips and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted butterscotch mixture, stirring until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter if needed.
Scoop an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (typically about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter evenly if necessary.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the warm waffles with whipped cream, a drizzle of butterscotch sauce, or your choice of toppings.
