Homemade Waffles
Description
This waffle recipe starts by combining dry ingredients, including flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Wet ingredients—milk, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and almond extract—are whisked separately before being blended with the dry mix just until combined, avoiding overmixing which could toughen the waffles.
The batter is poured into a preheated waffle iron, and waffles are cooked as directed by the appliance. Using a small amount of non-stick spray can help prevent sticking. Resting waffles on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet in a 200°F oven keeps them warm and crispy by preventing steam from softening the bottoms.
The combination of vanilla and almond extracts adds a subtle nutty aroma complementing the classic waffle taste. These waffles make a versatile breakfast or brunch foundation for toppings or syrups.
