Description

This classic waffle recipe creates crisp, golden-brown waffles with a fluffy interior, perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch. Made with simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, and butter, these waffles are easy to prepare and cook quickly in a waffle iron. Serve them warm with butter and maple syrup for a comforting treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1¼ cups milk (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted, 1 stick), plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving

  • Maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with melted butter to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is fully blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, leaving a few lumps to maintain waffle texture.
  5. Cook the waffles: Scoop about ½ cup of batter for each waffle into a preheated waffle maker (adjust amount based on your waffle iron size). Cook for approximately 4 minutes or until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately with additional butter and maple syrup for a warm, flavorful breakfast.

Notes

  • This waffle recipe is an easy-to-make breakfast favorite that’s crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Adjust the waffle cooking time based on your waffle maker for best results.
  • Serve with maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit to enhance flavors.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to achieve a smooth batter consistency.
  • Stir the batter gently to avoid overmixing which can make waffles tough.
