Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.75 cups milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 units large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are fine.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray if needed.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron size).
Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes. Refer to your waffle iron’s instructions for specific cooking times.
Carefully remove the waffle using tongs or a spatula, and place it on a wire rack to keep it crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
