  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 waffles

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (480ml)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron. Set your waffle iron to the desired heat setting, preferably a darker or higher heat for crispier waffles, and allow it to fully heat up before adding the batter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Mix wet ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine batter. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough waffles; some small lumps are fine.
  5. Prepare waffle iron and cook. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter per waffle onto the iron, adjusting the amount based on the size of your waffle maker.
  6. Cook waffles. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes, depending on your machine’s settings.
  7. Serve warm. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack to keep crisp while you cook the remaining batter. Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • To achieve crispier waffles, opt for a darker or higher heat setting on your waffle iron.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Using a wire rack to cool cooked waffles prevents sogginess.
  • Customize toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, nuts, or chocolate chips to enhance flavor.
  • This batter can be make-ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
