Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, then pour the batter into the iron, ensuring it spreads evenly but not to the edges to avoid overflow.
Step 7
Close the waffle iron and cook according to its instructions, typically 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer them to a wire rack to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the waffles warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, chives, or an extra sprinkle of shredded cheese, and enjoy!
