How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Preheat your waffle iron

    Preheat your waffle iron to its medium-high setting, approximately 375°F (191°C).

  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are normal.

  5. Ladle the batter

    Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and the steam has mostly stopped. Repeat with remaining batter.

A little kitchen wisdom

Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter to get that signature crispiness. Do not overmix the batter; a few small lumps are okay.
