My son and I have perfected a waffle batter recipe. You’ll need a waffle iron. It will get messy and drippy, so maybe put a piece of parchment paper underneath your machine while you use it to catch the drips. It’s totally worth the mess, though.
Also, you can put the cooked waffles in a freezer bag, freeze them, and save them for later. These are better than store bought waffles!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A dash of cinnamon
- Nonstick cooking spray
- (Optional) Toppings for your cooked waffles, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, jam, peanut butter, Nutella, etc.
Directions
1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk just the eggs until they are thoroughly blended and smooth.
3. Add the flour, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix until blended.
4. Whisk in the sugar, and then everything else - the baking powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon just until smooth, Be careful not to overmix.
5. Spray the waffle iron with non stick cooking spray. Pour some batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown. I use a soup ladle, which seems to be the perfect amount (about 4 oz) to fill both sides of our smallish waffle maker. Use whatever works for your machine.
For our waffle iron and this recipe, 4 minutes seems to be the perfect amount of time to cook the waffles to a perfect level of golden brown crispness. But it could take anywhere from about 3-5 minutes for other waffle makers.
Enjoy your amazing waffles!
