Quick
& Easy Homemade Waffles – makes 5-6
1 3/4 cups flour 1 Tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 3/4 cups milk 2 large eggs 1/2 cup melted butter 1 tsp vanilla extract Whisk the flour, baking
powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat the milk,
eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture over the dry
mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Let sit five minutes to
“develop” (just a fancy word for letting the baking powder activate). Meanwhile, heat your waffle
iron. Pour, or ladle, enough batter to cover about 2/3 of the surface (the
rest will spread once you close the top). Most waffle irons have a handy
light that goes on or off, signaling the waffles are ready. A sure sign of
doneness is once you see all the steam has stopped shooting out. |
