Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter with the milk in short 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is warm but not hot (around 90 seconds total). This helps prevent overheating the milk, which can affect the batter.
- Once the butter has melted, stir to combine, then whisk in the vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with a hand mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the waffles lighter.
- Gently pour in the warm milk and butter mixture and blend on low speed until just combined.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt, sifting them in if possible to prevent clumping. Mix until the batter is just combined with no visible streaks of flour, being careful not to overmix.
- Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes for the best rise and texture. While the batter rests, preheat the waffle iron, and preheat the oven to 200°F with a wire rack set over a baking sheet (for keeping finished waffles crispy and warm).
- Once ready, lightly brush or spray the waffle plates with a small amount of oil or nonstick spray. Some waffle irons are non-stick, but a light coating of oil can help ensure the waffles release cleanly.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently so they don’t sink. Pour about 1/2- to 3/4-cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron’s size) onto the center of the iron. Spread the batter slightly with a spatula if needed, but avoid overfilling.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Most waffle irons will signal when they’re ready, but you can also check by gently lifting the lid to see if the waffle releases easily. If it sticks, close the iron and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- As each waffle finishes cooking, place it directly on the wire rack in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
