My waffle recipe is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a homemade breakfast. Whip up a batch of fluffy waffles to start your day.
Ingredients
2cups(284g)all-purpose flour
¼cup(50g)granulated sugar
4teaspoons(15g)baking powder
½teaspoon(1g)kosher salt
2large eggs
1 ½cups(360ml)whole milk
¼cup(60g)unsalted butter, melted
2teaspoons(10ml)vanilla extract
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the Wet Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Make the Waffle Batter – Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Do not overmix the batter.
Cook the Waffles – Preheat the waffle iron over medium heat or to the desired browning level. Lightly grease with cooking spray. Add about ⅓ cup of batter to each section, adding more as needed depending on the waffle iron size. Close and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reduce cooking time for softer waffles.
To Serve – Serve the waffles with desired toppings like butter and maple syrup.
Notes
Make it Gluten-Free: Use 1:1 gluten-free baking flour like Bob’s Red Mill instead of all-purpose flour.
Keeping Waffles Warm: Heat the oven to 200ºF (93ºC). Place cooked waffles on a wire rack sitting in a sheet pan. Keep them warm in the oven for no more than 20 minutes so they do not dry out.
Storing: Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating Frozen Waffles: Microwave waffles in a single layer for 30 to 60 seconds until hot. For crispy waffles, microwave to defrost for 30 to 45 seconds, then toast until crispy.
