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
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- as needed for greasing 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 bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have some small lumps.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, but check your waffle iron’s guidelines). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to 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 immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
