Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for Waffle Iron
  • vegetable oil or cooking spray for greasing

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Waffle iron
  • Ladle
  • Oven (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are acceptable.
Cook Waffles
  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  2. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, or as directed by your appliance.
  3. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Serve
  1. Carefully remove the cooked waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
  2. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring to re-grease the waffle iron between batches if necessary.

Notes

For extra crispy waffles, use buttermilk. You can keep cooked waffles warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
