End your day on a comforting note with these fluffy, golden-brown "Good Night Waffles." This easy-to-make recipe combines pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and a hint of vanilla extract to create waffles that are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Ready in just 30 minutes from start to finish, these waffles are ideal for a cozy breakfast-for-dinner or a sweet evening treat. The batter comes together effortlessly, and the light vanilla aroma makes every bite irresistible. Top them with your favorite late-night indulgences—whether it’s a drizzle of warm maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream—for a truly satisfying end to your day. Don’t forget to lightly butter your waffle iron for that extra golden, non-stick perfection! Perfect for families or solo indulgence, this recipe serves up to four.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the heated waffle iron (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter slightly, if needed, to ensure even cooking.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. This usually takes 5-7 minutes, but follow your waffle iron's specific timing instructions.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle using tongs or a silicone spatula. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
