Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the waffle iron to a medium-high setting.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp granulated sugar until no clumps remain.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth, then whisk in 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1/3 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently whisk until just combined; stop as soon as the streaks of flour disappear, leaving a few small lumps.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook until the steam stops escaping and the waffles are rich brown and crisp to the touch.
