Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.75 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 cups chocolate sauce (optional)
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a non-stick spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (refer to the waffle iron's capacity) and spread it evenly. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, typically 4–5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Place a cooked waffle on a plate and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with maple syrup, and add a dollop of whipped cream. If desired, top with chocolate sauce and fresh berries for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Waffles a La Mode!
