Servings: 5 waffles

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoon white sugar
1 ½ tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk - room temperature
½ cup unsalted butter - melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the 2 cups all purpose flour, 3 tablespoon sugar, 1 ½ tablespoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, beat together the 2 eggs with a hand mixer until they're light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the 1 ½ cups milk, ½ cup melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix together again until smooth and creamy.
Add the dry ingredients bowl to the wet ingredients. Mix together just until combined. There should still be a few lumps. Do not overmix.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes while you preheat the waffle iron.
Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray if needed. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. Use a pair of tongs to carefully remove the waffle. Stack waffles on a plate covered wth a kitchen towel.
Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream or strawberry sauce.

Recipe Notes:

PREHEAT WAFFLE IRON – First, make sure to preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This is important because it ensures that your waffles cook evenly and come out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
MEASURE BATTER ACCORDINGLY – Some waffle irons make round waffles, while others make square or rectangular waffles. Check how much batter you’ll need to make each waffle before you start cooking.
ADJUST IF NEEDED – Some waffle irons require you to use cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking, while others do not. Additionally, some waffle irons have adjustable temperature settings, while others do not. Adjust the temperature based on the manufacturer’s instructions and your personal preference.

If you have leftover waffles, you can store them in the refrigerator or freezer.

FRIDGE – Place your waffles in an airtight container or plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
TO FREEZE – These waffles freeze well! Place them in a single layer on a cooling rack and freeze for 1-2 hours. Once they are frozen, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, parchment paper or foil (this helps to prevent freezer burn and keep them fresh). Store them all together in an airtight container or large plastic bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
