Enjoy your delicious homemade waffles, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a sweet snack
Equipment
- Waffle iron
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Ladle or spoon (to pour batter)
Ingredients
- 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups 420ml milk
- 1/3 cup 75g melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Iron
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter if needed.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Step 4: Make the Batter
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Step 5: Cook the Waffles
- Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or spoon to spread it evenly if necessary.
- Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually 4–6 minutes (time may vary depending on your waffle iron).
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Tips:
- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them gently into the batter.
- Keep cooked waffles warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you finish cooking the rest.
