Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0 cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing waffle iron)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 5
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly if needed. Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions, usually 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle iron and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
