  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 4 tsps Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp White sugar
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Butter (melted)
  • 1¾ cup Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the iron is hot enough for proper cooking and crispiness.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and fluffy, then add the vanilla extract and mix well for enhanced flavor.
  4. Mix Batter: Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, then pour in the melted butter and milk. Whisk until the batter is smooth, but be careful not to over-mix to keep the waffles tender.
  5. Rest Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate, which will help make the waffles fluffier.
  6. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, following your waffle iron’s timing guidelines.
  7. Serve: Serve the waffles immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream for a delicious treat.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to avoid tough waffles.
  • Resting the batter helps create lighter, fluffier waffles.
  • Use melted butter to add richness and improve texture.
  • Waffles are best served fresh and hot for crispiness.
  • To keep waffles warm while cooking others, place them on a wire rack in a low oven.
