Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.75 cups milk
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0 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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, not completely smooth. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using enough to fill the iron but not overflow (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron).

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent sogginess while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the waffles warm with toppings of your choice, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
