Whether you’re preparing a leisurely weekend brunch or simply craving a midweek treat, this waffle recipe is sure to satisfy. With just a handful of pantry staples, you can whip up this delightful breakfast in no time. Let’s dive into the recipe and discover how to make the perfect homemade waffles!

Ingredients

Before you start mixing, gather the following ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
• 4 tsp baking powder (16g)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
• ⅛ tsp kosher salt
• 2 large eggs (100g)
• 1¾ cups milk (397g)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter (57g), melted and slightly cooled (½ stick)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (4g)

This recipe is designed to yield approximately 4-6 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle maker. Adjust the ingredients accordingly if you’re catering to a larger crowd or simply want leftovers!

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Ensure these ingredients are well combined, as this will contribute to the ideal waffle texture.

2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
   Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Into this well, add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Starting from the center, whisk the mixture until just combined. It’s perfectly fine if the batter has a few lumps; overmixing can lead to tougher waffles.

3. Preheat the Waffle Maker:
   Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat. If your waffle maker requires it, lightly coat the plates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

4. Cook the Waffles:
   Pour about ¾ cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it to ensure even coverage. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. The cooking time may vary depending on your waffle maker, so keep an eye on them. Repeat with the remaining batter.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Transfer the cooked waffles to a plate and serve immediately. Top with your favorite accompaniments, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Equipment Needed

• Waffle Maker: Essential for creating those iconic waffle ridges.
• Kitchen Scale (optional): For precise measurement of ingredients, especially if you prefer baking by weight.

Becky’s Tips

• Batter Consistency: A few lumps in the batter are normal. Avoid the temptation to overmix, as this can affect the waffles’ texture.
• Waffle Maker Size: The yield of this recipe depends on the size of your waffle maker. Adjust the amount of batter you pour in to suit your equipment.
• Storage and Reheating: Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster for a quick and easy breakfast.
