Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Maple syrup and butter, as desired, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk milk and eggs; pour over flour mixture, and whisk gently to combine (don't overmix). Gently whisk in butter.
  • Following manufacturer's instructions, cook waffles until deep brown and crisp. (For a standard waffle iron, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into center, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges, and close; waffle will cook in 2 to 3 minutes.) Serve warm, with maple syrup and butter, as desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the waffles will be. Look for fresh, high-quality flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, eggs, and milk.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. This will allow the baking powder to activate and give the waffles a light and fluffy texture.
  • Preheat your waffle iron. A hot waffle iron will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Use a generous amount of butter or cooking spray to grease the waffle iron. This will help the waffles come out easily and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of waffle iron you are using.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are delicious served with butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be topped with a variety of different ingredients to suit your taste. Whether you like them simple with butter and syrup or loaded with fruit and whipped cream, waffles are sure to please everyone at your table.
