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
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with melted butter to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Serve immediately with additional butter and maple syrup for a warm, flavorful breakfast.
