Golden Crisp Waffles (Printable)

Golden crispy waffles with tender interior, perfect for breakfast topped with fruit or syrup.

# Components:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1¾ cups whole milk
07 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix as small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
06 - Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to just cover the grid. Close lid and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
07 - Remove cooked waffle and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or melted chocolate.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The batter comes together in under ten minutes with pantry staples you probably already have.
  • These waffles freeze beautifully so you can have homemade breakfast on hectic weekday mornings.
02 -
  • Overmixed batter makes tough waffles. Stir until the flour is just incorporated and walk away.
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking produces fluffier results.
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and fold the beaten whites into the batter at the end for restaurant-fluffy waffles.
  • Use a measuring cup with a spout to pour the batter and avoid messy drips on your waffle iron.
