Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.75 cups milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 units large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are fine.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray if needed.

Step 5

Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron (usually about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron size).

Step 6

Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes. Refer to your waffle iron’s instructions for specific cooking times.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle using tongs or a spatula, and place it on a wire rack to keep it crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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