Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • large bowls (2)
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • waffle iron
  • ladle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are acceptable.
  4. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the leavening agents to activate, creating a light and airy texture.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron, adjusting the amount based on your waffle maker's size.
  4. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, then carefully remove them and serve immediately or keep warm.

Notes

For extra fluffy waffles, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, syrup, or whipped cream. Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or oven.
