Ingredients

6 waffles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are fine, so don’t overmix.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or nonstick spray.
  6. Pour batter onto the iron, about 1/2 cup per waffle depending on size. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  7. Serve right away with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Yield is approximately 6 waffles, depending on the waffle iron. Cook time allows about 5 minutes per waffle, cooked one at a time; an iron that cooks multiple waffles at once will take less time.

  • For extra crispy waffles, rest them on a wire rack instead of stacking them.

  • When making a big batch, keep them warm in a 200°F oven.

  • To freeze, cool completely, freeze in a single layer, then move to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
