How to Make the Best Waffles!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted; 113 g)
• 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (270 g; sifted if possible)
• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (50 g)
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (Double‑acting)
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt (Fine sea salt)
• 2 Large Eggs (Room temperature (optional))
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Pure vanilla)
• 2 cups Whole Milk (Can use 2 % milk)
• as needed Cooking Spray or Light Oil (For greasing the waffle iron if not non‑stick)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Waffle Iron

   Plug in the waffle iron and set it to a medium heat setting. Allow it to preheat for about five minutes until the indicator shows it’s ready.

   Time: PT5M

2. Melt the Butter

   Place 1/2 cup (113 g) of unsalted butter in a liquid measuring cup and microwave on high for 30‑45 seconds, stirring halfway through until fully melted.

   Time: PT1M

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl whisk together 2 ¼ cups (270 g) all‑purpose flour, 1 ¼ tsp salt, 1 Tbsp baking powder, and ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar until evenly distributed.

   Time: PT2M

4. Whisk Wet Ingredients

   In a second bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract, the melted butter, and finally whisk in 2 cups whole milk.

   Time: PT2M

5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

   Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined; a few small lumps are fine.

   Time: PT1M

6. Cook the Waffles

   Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the center, close the lid, and cook until the iron beeps and steam subsides, roughly 4‑5 minutes per waffle.

   Time: PT15M

7. Cool on a Wire Rack

   Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack immediately to keep them crisp. Avoid stacking on a plate.

   Time: PT5M

8. Serve or Store

   Serve waffles warm with maple syrup, butter, honey, or jam. For leftovers, place waffles in a single layer in a freezer‑safe bag, seal, and freeze for up to two months. Reheat directly in a toaster.
