Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Pecans, chopped and toasted
• 0.5 cups Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 0 Cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the toasted pecans and crumbled bacon, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

Step 7

Ladle the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it slightly to ensure even cooking. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes, depending on your iron.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve warm with optional toppings, such as maple syrup, additional pecans, or a sprinkle of crumbled bacon.
