Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a whisk or spatula. Stir just until incorporated; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with nonstick cooking spray, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle maker (refer to your waffle maker's instructions for batter quantity; usually about 1/2 cup). Spread the batter slightly with a spatula, if needed.
Close the waffle maker and cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes, or according to your waffle maker's settings.
Carefully remove the waffle from the maker and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the plates as needed between batches.
Serve the freshly made waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
