Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup malted milk powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add milk and melted butter to the eggs, whisking to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease the surfaces with cooking spray or additional melted butter.
- Pour the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron, using the manufacturer's recommended amount. Cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes.
- While waffles are cooking, prepare the spiced peaches. In a medium skillet, combine sliced peaches, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
- Cook the peaches over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. The sugar will create a light syrup.
- Transfer cooked waffles to serving plates, top generously with the warm spiced peaches, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Perfecting the Batter: When mixing your wet and dry ingredients, remember that less is more! Overmixing can lead to tough waffles, so stir until just combined for a light and fluffy texture.
- Waffle Iron Prep: Preheat your waffle iron well before adding the batter. A hot iron ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
- Customizing Your Peaches: Feel free to experiment with spices! A pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract can add an extra layer of flavor to your spiced peaches.
- Serving Suggestions: For an added touch of decadence, drizzle maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream over your spiced peaches and waffles before serving.
- Make Ahead: If you're short on time in the morning, prepare the waffle batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a gentle stir before pouring it into the waffle iron.
