Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with oil or butter. Pour enough batter to cover the iron’s surface.
Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
Remove carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
Notes
For extra crispiness, add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.
Letting the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking can make waffles fluffier.
Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for quick breakfasts.
Experiment with toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, syrup, chocolate, or whipped cream.
