Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Cook the waffles: Pour or ladle the batter into your preheated waffle iron, being careful not to overfill it. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
  • Place the baked waffles on a plate and repeat with remaining batter. 
  • Serve: Remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  1. Don't overmix the batter: It's okay if there are a few lumps in your waffle batter. Overmixing can result in tough, chewy waffles.
  2. Preheat your waffle iron: Make sure your waffle iron is hot before you add the batter. This helps create that crispy, golden exterior.
  3. Don't peak too soon: Resist the urge to open the waffle iron too early. Let the waffles cook until they're golden and crisp.
  4. Adjusting for preferences: If you prefer lighter, fluffier waffles, you can separate the egg yolks and whites, beat the whites to soft peaks, and fold them into the batter at the end.
  5. Storage: Leftover waffles can be cooled, then stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
