Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Feel free to experiment with substitutions for a personal touch. For instance, try using whole wheat flour for a healthier option or almond milk if you’re dairy-free. Just like the pinch of this and handful of that in my grandmother’s kitchen, don’t be afraid to make this recipe your own!
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of oil.
- Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup for each waffle (or adjust based on your waffle iron’s size).
- Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 5 minutes or until the steam stops escaping from the sides of the iron.
- Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Remember, just like life’s journey, waffle making is about enjoying the process and learning along the way. Don’t worry if the first waffle isn’t perfect; practice makes perfect!
