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
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0 as needed for greasing 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 bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should have some small lumps.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

Step 6

Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron (typically about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, but check your waffle iron’s guidelines). Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp while you cook the remaining waffles.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
