Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
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.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a light coating of melted butter if needed.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's instructions for the recommended amount) and close the lid.
Cook the waffle until golden brown and crisp, usually 4–5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as necessary between batches.
Serve the waffles immediately topped with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
