Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender and fluffy.
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron and lightly grease it with a bit of melted butter or non-stick spray to achieve a crispy crust and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour about half a cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron or enough to cover the surface, following your waffle iron’s instructions. Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve Warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispiness. Keep extras warm in a low oven when cooking multiple waffles.
Notes
- Separate eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold gently into the batter for extra fluffy waffles.
- Use chilled milk and eggs to improve batter texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles.
- Let the batter rest 5–10 minutes to activate the baking powder fully.
- Cook a test waffle first to gauge your waffle iron’s timing and temperature.
