Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to combine the leavening agents evenly with the flour.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs well. Then add the whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has some lumps as overmixing can make the waffles tough.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker, using enough to cover the surface but not overflow. Cook the waffles until they turn golden brown, approximately 5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • For dairy-free options, substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use plant-based butter.
  • If you prefer crispier waffles, cook a little longer until extra golden.
  • Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F) if making multiple batches.
  • Leftover waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
