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)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- as needed non-stick cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter may have a few small lumps, which is fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or a cup to ensure even distribution. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's settings, typically 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using tongs or a spatula. Repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the golden waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
