Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: waffle iron, large mixing bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, and a clean kitchen surface.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Add the milk and vegetable oil to the beaten eggs, whisking to create a smooth, uniform liquid mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are acceptable.
- Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, typically setting it to medium-high heat.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of additional vegetable oil.
- Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup depending on your waffle iron's size.
- Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or heat-resistant spatula, and repeat the process with remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, measure out your dry ingredients the night before and store them in an airtight container. This way, you can simply mix in the wet ingredients when you're ready to cook.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine! Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before pouring in the batter. This ensures a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Grease Wisely: Use a light hand when greasing the waffle iron. Too much oil can make your waffles greasy, while just the right amount will help them release easily.
- Experiment with Toppings: While butter and maple syrup are classic choices, don’t hesitate to get creative! Fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar can take your waffles to the next level.
- Keep Waffles Warm: If you're making multiple batches, keep the finished waffles warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Customize Your Recipe: Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like cinnamon to the batter for a fun twist on the classic recipe. With these tips in hand, you're all set to create the perfect waffles that will have everyone coming back for more!
