Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick spray or a little oil.
Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron (amount depends on your iron size). Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove waffle and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve waffles immediately topped with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips
For extra crispiness, keep cooked waffles on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F) while you finish the batch.
Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
Substitute buttermilk for milk for a tangier flavor.
