Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1.75 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter may have a few small lumps, which is fine.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.

Step 5

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or a cup to ensure even distribution. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's settings, typically 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using tongs or a spatula. Repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the waffle iron as needed.

Step 7

Serve the golden waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
