Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to your desired setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.
Scoop the batter into the waffle iron using a ladle or measuring cup (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle, depending on your waffle iron size). Spread the batter if needed to cover the waffle iron's surface.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and transfer it to a wire rack or serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron with nonstick spray as needed.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
