This is a simple and basic waffle recipe that will give you crispy, fluffy waffles all ready for your favorite toppings!

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 waffles 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp baking powder
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk up the eggs. Add the the baking powder and continue whisking until completely mixed together; set aside
  2. In a separate bowl mix together salt, flour and sugar.
  3. By now, your eggs should be thick, frothy and stiff you should have foamy like eggs on your whisk.
  4. Next mix together your egg mixture with the dry ingredients, milk and melted butter all together until just combined. (don’t over Mix)
  5. Drop about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter into your waffle iron (I use an ice cream scoopto achieve the right amount) and cook until done. I have a rotating waffle iron that cooks 2 at once and has 3 different settings. so it makes cooking them really easy. But if you’ve never used your iron, do a tester waffle, where you check every so often to figure out cooking time.
  6. Once all cooked up, enjoy it with syrup, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate chips or anything else you want to top it with!

Notes

Storage Details

  • To freeze them for further use, lay them on a sheet pan and sit in the freezer until completely frozen (30-60 minutes). Take them out and quickly put them in a freezer bag labeled waffles. When the kids are ready to eat them, they just stick them in the toaster*!

*If you plan on freezing them, make sure you cook them on the lighter side so when they toast they are a nice golden brown, and not burnt.
