Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Preheat waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking if necessary.

- Repeat cooking: Carefully remove the finished waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the waffles warm topped with your choice of traditional accompaniments such as strawberry jam, whipped cream, sour cream, or brown cheese.
Notes
