How to Make Waffles
Description
How to Make Waffles provides a clear process for preparing waffles with a balanced batter. Dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt combine with wet ingredients including eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. The instructions caution against overmixing to maintain texture, allowing some lumps in the batter. Cooking in a greased waffle iron yields waffles that are crisp on the outside and tender inside after about 6-8 minutes.
Serving hot, these waffles are complemented by butter, fresh fruit, or syrup as desired. This recipe is suitable for making multiple waffles for a group or breakfast meal.
A tip shared in the notes suggests substituting half the milk with seltzer water to create a lighter, airier texture, which can be helpful for experimenting with waffle batter consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg large
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 6 tablespoons butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cooking spray
- butter fresh fruit, or maple syrup for topping, as desired, additional
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another, larger bowl, whisk the eggs together until blended. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined, then whisk in the dry ingredient mixture. Don’t overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
- Grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle in enough waffle batter to fill the waffle iron almost to the edges, and close the iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes, then remove the waffles to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Makes 10-12 waffles.
- Serve the waffles hot, topped with butter, fresh fruit, and syrup, as desired.
Notes
- For a lighter, crispier waffle texture, replace half the milk with seltzer water.
