Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract to the eggs, and mix until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix just until the batter is smooth; avoid overmixing.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Use the manufacturer's recommended quantity of batter for each waffle section.
Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's settings, typically 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the waffles using a fork or tongs. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh orange slices, or powdered sugar.
