Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 grams)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder (16 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- â…› teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- 1¾ cups milk (397 grams)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (57 grams, melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and kosher salt until everything is evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything starting from the center until just combined, leaving a few lumps for a tender waffle texture.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high temperature. Lightly spray with cooking oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour approximately ¾ cup of batter onto the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Repeat the process using the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the freshly cooked waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps will help keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Use melted butter at room temperature to ensure it incorporates well without cooking the eggs.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your waffle iron for optimal browning.
- Waffles are best eaten fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
- For crispier waffles, avoid stacking them immediately after cooking to prevent sogginess.
