Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

For Serving

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh fruits
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla bean paste until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; it’s important not to overmix—small lumps in the batter are fine.
  5. Cook waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if necessary. Pour or ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron, being careful not to overfill. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
  6. Repeat cooking: Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve: Serve the waffles immediately topped with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream, as desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
  • Use melted unsalted butter for richer flavor, but vegetable oil can be substituted if preferred.
  • Waffles are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven for a short time.
  • If you like crispier waffles, cook a few minutes longer than recommended.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences.
