Who doesn't love a warm, crispy waffle fresh off the iron? Whether you're enjoying a lazy weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat, homemade waffles are a delightful way to start the day. With this simple and easy-to-follow recipe, you can whip up a batch of delicious waffles from scratch. Let's dive into the steps and ingredients you'll need to create the perfect waffle that's golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

 

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Equipment

• Waffle iron
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk or electric mixer
• Measuring cups and spoons

 

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Waffle Iron

Plug in your waffle iron and allow it to preheat while you prepare the batter. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best temperature settings.

 

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed

 

3. Whisk Wet Ingredients

.In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined

 

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; overmixing can result in tough waffles.

 

5. Cook the Waffles

Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of oil or non-stick spray if necessary. Pour enough batter into the center of the waffle iron to cover the surface, but don't overfill as the batter will spread. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

 

6. Serve and Enjoy

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

 

 

Tips for Perfect Waffles

• .Don't Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to keep your waffles light and fluffy
• .Keep Them Warm: If making a large batch, keep the cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven until ready to serve
• .Experiment with Flavors: Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or spices like cinnamon to the batter for a fun twist
