Servings 5 waffles
Calories 417kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron. Gently coat with nonstick baking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use the back of a spoon to create a "well" in the center.
- Whisk the two eggs into the milk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients (butter, milk/egg mixture, vanilla) into the well of the dry ingredients and whisk until blended. (Note: the batter will be slightly lumpy, do not over-mix.)
- Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. (About 2-3 minutes, but this will vary wildly depending on your waffle maker.)
- Serve immediately or lay on a wire cooling rack until cool. Store leftovers in an airtight bag in the freezer.

Notes
I used a scant ⅔ cup of batter for each 1″ waffle. This will vary based on the size of your waffle maker.
