Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 Cups all purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and the best texture. Grease the waffle iron with butter if your model requires it to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder until evenly distributed. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the two large eggs until smooth. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to combine all wet ingredients.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined – avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Pour the prepared batter onto the preheated, greased waffle iron. Close and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, usually until steam stops or waffles are a deep golden brown. Remove carefully and serve warm.

Notes

  • For crispier waffles, cook a little longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for tangier flavor and tender texture.
  • If you prefer, add mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
  • Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven or reheated in a toaster.
