Basic Batter Waffles image

This hearty waffle recipe comes from an issue of Parent's Magazine. Ive made it every week for years and it comes out great every time. I double it and freeze the leftover waffles and reheat in toaster oven.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder (OR 2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda if using buttermilk)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar (2 Tbsp for waffles)
1 egg (2 eggs for waffles)
1 1/2 - 2 cups milk (OR 2 cups buttermilk)
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled (4 Tbsp for waffles)
canola oil or cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat waffle iron or griddle over medium heat. 2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. 3. Whisk together milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Then, stir in the butter and vanilla. 4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk. 5. Spray iron with cooking spray or add a capful of oil to your griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto cooking surface. Waffles will take approximately 4 minutes. Pancakes will take approximately 2-4 minutes per side.
