• 2 cups Whole Milk (room temperature, microwaved briefly if cold)
• 2 units Large Eggs (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted; can substitute half butter/half oil for extra crispness)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla)

Instructions

1. Preheat Waffle Iron

   Plug in the waffle iron and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.

   Time: PT5M

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl combine 2 ¼ cups (270 g) all‑purpose flour, ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar, and ¾ tsp salt. Whisk until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT5M

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl whisk together 2 cups whole milk (room temperature), 2 large eggs, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

4. Combine Wet and Dry

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are okay.

   Time: PT3M

5. Add Optional Mix‑Ins

   Fold in your chosen mix‑ins (e.g., ½ cup chocolate chips or ½ cup fresh blueberries) just before cooking.

   Time: PT2M

6. Grease Waffle Iron (if needed)

   Lightly brush the preheated plates with a thin layer of melted butter or oil.

   Time: PT4M

8. Crisp on Wire Rack

   Transfer the finished waffle to a wire rack to let excess steam escape and keep the exterior crisp.

   Time: PT1M

9. Repeat Until Batter Is Gone
