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: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Make Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  5. Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron if needed. Pour batter onto the waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup, and cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 4 to 6 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles; lumps are okay.
  • For crispier waffles, cook a few minutes longer if your waffle iron allows.
  • Feel free to add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
  • Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
