BASIC BATTER WAFFLES

Provided by Roxygirl in Colorado

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
1 2/3 cups milk (I particularly like canned evaporated milk for some of it)

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon maple extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients together using a large whisk.
  • Mix the wet ingredients together.
  • Gently combine but don't overmix.
  • Cook as your waffle maker directs.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar (my daughter).
  • Cover with toasted nuts, bananas, and real maple syrup (Me!).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your waffles.
  • Make sure your waffle iron is hot before you start cooking. This will help the waffles cook evenly.
