Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) whole milk
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until no large clumps remain.
  2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir in the room temperature milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry base and whisk until just combined; stop as soon as flour streaks disappear to avoid over-mixing.
  4. Preheat the Belgian waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  5. Pour batter into the center of the iron, filling the wells completely. Cook until steam stops escaping and the waffle is deep golden brown.
  6. Immediately transfer finished waffles to a wire cooling rack for 60 seconds to prevent the centers from becoming soggy.
