Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 3/4 cups milk


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients and Equipment: Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your waffle iron and coat it lightly with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat the eggs until they become light, fluffy, and pale in color. This aerates the eggs and helps create a lighter waffle texture.
  4. Add Vanilla: Stir the pure vanilla extract into the beaten eggs for added flavor.
  5. Combine Egg Mixture with Dry Ingredients: Pour the egg and vanilla mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently mix until just incorporated.
  6. Add Butter and Milk: Gradually add the melted butter and milk to the mixture, blending until the batter is smooth but not overmixed to maintain fluffiness.
  7. Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting time helps the baking powder activate, resulting in fluffier waffles.
  8. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp.
  9. Serve: Serve the waffles hot topped with pure maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream as desired.
