Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups pearl sugar (optional, for authentic texture)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a light texture.
If using pearl sugar, gently fold it into the batter.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a light coating of melted butter.
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle (depending on the size of your waffle iron). Spread the batter evenly for uniform cooking.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes per batch. The exact time will depend on the heat of your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with toppings of your choice, such as powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream, or warm maple syrup.
