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)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (consult your waffle iron's instructions for guidance on quantity). Spread the batter slightly if necessary.
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Timing will vary depending on your waffle iron but typically takes about 3-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle using a non-metallic utensil to avoid scratching the waffle iron, and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you make the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
