Equipment
Waffle iron
Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
2¼cupsall-purpose flour(270g)
¼cupgranulated sugar(50g)
1tablespoonbaking powder
¾teaspoonsalt
2cupsmilk slightly warmed or room temperature (480ml)
½cupunsalted buttermelted (113g)
2largeeggs
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron. (If you can choose settings, I recommend a darker or higher heat setting for a crispier waffle.)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir together just until combined.
Grease the hot waffle iron with butter or cooking spray. Add about 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle to the hot waffle iron. (The amount will depend on the size of your waffle maker so feel free to experiment with how much you add.)
Cook until golden brown. Place on a wire rack until ready to serve so they stay crisp. Serve hot with maple syrup and butter or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Don’t use cold milk. Adding the melted butter to the cold milk will cause it to clump and it may melt out of your waffles instead of smoothly blending into the batter. Bring it to room temperature if you’re prepping ahead, or pop the 2 cups in the microwave for 30 seconds to take the chill off.
