Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray if needed.
Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron. Use an appropriate amount of batter for your specific waffle iron to avoid overflow (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup).
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
