Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour the base that keeps things tender but structured
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder helps the waffles rise and stay fluffy
  • 2 tablespoons sugar just enough to bring out the warm flavor
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt makes everything taste more like itself

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs adds richness and helps the batter hold together
  • 1.75 cups milk any kind works, whole milk tastes richest
  • 0.5 cups melted butter provides bakery style flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, makes the kitchen smell amazing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the waffle iron.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir just until you do not see dry flour. A few small lumps are fine.

Cooking

  • Lightly grease your waffle iron if needed.
  • Pour in batter and cook until steam slows down and waffles are golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Keep finished waffles warm in a 200°F oven on a baking sheet.

Notes

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the flour. For extra crispness, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry mix or cook the waffle a bit longer. Store cool, cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
