Ingredients
    For the Waffle Batter:
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1.75 cup whole milk (warm, not hot)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • Optional Toppings:
  • 0.5 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
    Preheat Waffle Iron
  1. 1
    Preheat your waffle iron to 190°C. If your model doesn’t show temperature, use the "medium" or "crisp" setting.
    2. Combine Dry Ingredients
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
    3. Mix Wet Ingredients
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
    4. Combine Wet and Dry
  4. 4
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine.
    5. Rest the Batter
  5. 5
    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This helps the gluten relax, making the waffles extra tender on the inside.
    6. Cook the Waffles
  6. 6
    Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter. Pour batter into the waffle iron (about 1 cup per waffle for Belgian style). Close the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
    7. Serve and Enjoy
  7. 7
    Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like strawberries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Note

Make-Ahead Tip: You can make the batter the night before and refrigerate. Just stir gently before using.

Freezing: Cooked waffles freeze well. Let them cool completely, stack with parchment between, and freeze in a zip-top bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispy results.

Variations: Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon to the batter for a flavor twist. For extra crispiness, replace 0.25 cup of milk with sparkling water.
