Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray (or melted butter for greasing the waffle iron)
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, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is normal.
Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray or a thin brushing of melted butter.
Carefully ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it slightly to ensure even distribution but not overfilling (check your manufacturer's guidelines for the correct amount per waffle).
Close the waffle iron and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle maker.
Remove the waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs, and place it on a plate or cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a pat of butter.
