Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat up fully so the waffles cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Pour batter onto waffle iron: Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly as needed to cover the surface.
- Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-6 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh berries, or butter.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for the crispiest results.
- Waffles are best served fresh but can be reheated in a toaster or oven.
- Feel free to customize toppings to your preference.
