Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs beaten until light and frothy
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- 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 medium bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined—some small lumps are okay.
Cooking
- Ladle about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron.
- Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or silicone spatula and place it on a wire rack to keep it crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the amount for your specific waffle iron if needed.
Serving
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Let your batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Brush the waffle iron with melted butter between batches and keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F oven.
