Classic Waffles

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Baking powder

1 tablespoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons

Eggs

2 large

Milk

1 3/4 cups

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, melted

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking.
5. Once the iron is hot, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using tongs or a fork, and repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the waffles immediately while warm, with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or whipped cream.
