Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 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 vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preheat your waffle iron to the appropriate temperature for cooking.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly mixed.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy and avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
- Prepare waffle iron: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook waffles: Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron and spread evenly. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked waffles and serve immediately with your preferred toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Keep waffles warm in a low oven if not serving immediately.
- Waffles freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster or oven to restore crispiness.
