Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Butter or nonstick spray for waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking and crisp waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter can remain slightly lumpy to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron size) onto the waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
- Repeat: Remove the cooked waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve Warm: Serve waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delicious breakfast.
Notes
- For extra crispy waffles, place cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
- Try adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon into the batter for delicious variations.
