Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions until golden and crisp.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For whole wheat waffles, substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Use buttermilk instead of milk for tangier flavor.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, cinnamon, or herbs for sweet or savory versions.
  • Let waffles cool before storing; freeze in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag.
  • Reheat in the toaster or oven for a crispy texture.
