Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.
Pour the recommended amount of batter (as indicated by your waffle iron) into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a wire rack to keep crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
