Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly if needed. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, usually 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle iron and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
