Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, then pour the batter into the iron, ensuring it spreads evenly but not to the edges to avoid overflow.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to its instructions, typically 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer them to a wire rack to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, chives, or an extra sprinkle of shredded cheese, and enjoy!
