Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup ham, diced
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Fold the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) into the batter.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the waffle iron, spreading it evenly but not overfilling (leave space for the batter to expand).

Step 7

Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.

Step 9

Serve the ham waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sour cream, or a fried egg.
