Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.75 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle maker) into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. This usually takes 4-5 minutes, but follow your waffle maker's instructions.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a wire rack or a plate to cool slightly. Do not stack waffles immediately as they may lose their crispiness.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between batches if needed.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
