Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened (for maple pecan butter)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Pecans, toasted and finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
To make the maple pecan butter, combine the softened butter, maple syrup, chopped pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside at room temperature.
Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron’s instructions for quantity) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes, or as directed by your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the warm waffles with a generous dollop of maple pecan butter on top. Add extra maple syrup if desired.
