Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Gradually add melted butter and whisk until smooth. - Optional Resting:
Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for softer waffles with better flavor. - Preheat Waffle Maker:
Heat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. - Cook the Waffles:
Ladle the batter into the waffle maker, just enough to cover the iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy (about 3–6 minutes). - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or keep warm in a preheated 70°C/150°F oven.
Notes
- Resting Time: Resting the batter enhances the texture and flavor.
- Storage: Store leftover waffles in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispy results.
- Waffle Makers: Premium waffle irons yield thicker and crispier waffles, but any waffle maker works well with this batter.
