Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix, a few small lumps are fine.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron and spread slightly if needed.
- Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove and place on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crisp waffles, let them rest on a wire rack instead of stacking.
- If desired, separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them into the batter for added fluffiness.
- Cooked waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for convenience.
