- 2 large Eggs (At room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups Warm milk (About 110°F/43°C)
- 1/3 cup Butter melted (Unsalted or salted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Lightly grease plates if needed.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until evenly combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk eggs lightly.
- Stir in warm milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine Batter:
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Gently whisk until just combined—small lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
Cook Waffles:
- Pour batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about ½–¾ cup per waffle, depending on size).
- Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp (usually 3–5 minutes).
- Remove with a spatula and transfer to a cooling rack to keep crisp while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve Immediately:

- Top with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or any favorites.
Notes
-
Extra Crisp: Keep cooked waffles on a wire rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven until all are ready to serve.
-
Make-Ahead: Waffles freeze well—cool completely, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in toaster or oven.
-
Flavor Variations: Fold in ½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fun twist.
-
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour.
