Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1¾ cups milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dry IngredientsIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the leavening agents are evenly distributed, leading to consistent results.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Then, whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.Step 3: Mix the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough waffles.Step 4: Preheat Your Waffle Maker
While you prepare the batter, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most waffle makers have an indicator light to show when they are ready. Lightly grease the grids if your model requires it.Step 5: Cook the Waffles
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle maker. The amount of batter needed will vary depending on the size of your waffle maker, but typically, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup is sufficient for a standard size. Close the lid and cook for the recommended time, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Avoid opening the lid too early, as this can cause the waffle to break apart.- Serve and Enjoy
