Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Grease the waffle iron lightly if needed and pour the recommended amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron.
- Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining waffles.
Notes
- For extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter at the end.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter before cooking.
- Top with syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or any toppings of your choice.
