Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup for each waffle. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Chef's Tips
- For extra crispiness, let the waffles sit in a warm oven (200°F) for a few minutes after cooking.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor and tender texture.
- Freeze leftover waffles and reheat them in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
