Why Make This Recipe

Waffles are a beloved breakfast treat that bring joy and comfort to many. This waffle recipe is simple and produces light, fluffy waffles that can be enjoyed with various toppings. Making your own waffles allows you to control the ingredients and customize them to your taste, making for a delightful start to your day.

How to Make Waffles

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1¼ cups milk (at room temperature)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted, plus more for serving)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with melted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until everything is well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, leaving a few lumps.
Use a ½ cup scoop to pour batter into your Belgian waffle maker or an appropriate amount for your type of waffle maker. Cook for about 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and lightly crisp. Cooking time may vary based on your waffle iron.
Serve the waffles warm with extra butter and maple syrup.

How to Serve Waffles

Waffles are best served warm and fresh. You can stack them and drizzle maple syrup over the top. Add a dollop of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or nuts for extra flavor. They make a great breakfast or even a fun dessert!

How to Store Waffles

If you have leftover waffles, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh, place them in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just place them in a single layer in a freezer bag. They can be reheated in a toaster or oven when you want to enjoy them again.

Tips to Make Waffles

Make sure your waffle iron is preheated for the best texture.
Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps will keep the waffles light and airy.
Experiment with different toppings, like fresh berries or chocolate chips, for variety.
If you like a crispier waffle, let them stay in the waffle iron for an extra minute.

Variation

You can easily modify this waffle recipe by adding ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter before cooking. Adjust the sugar content if you add sweet toppings.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
- Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. It might be a good idea to mix it with some all-purpose flour for a lighter waffle.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
- It’s best to make the batter fresh, but you can prepare it and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking.
What can I do if my waffles are not crispy?
- Ensure your waffle iron is hot enough before pouring in the batter. Also, cooking them a bit longer can help achieve that crispy texture.
