Homemade waffles beat frozen ones every time, and the batter takes 5 minutes. The butter makes them crisp; don’t skip it.
Serve with fruit and yogurt for breakfast, or with whipped cream and chocolate for dessert.
Ingredients
- 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 400 ml (1⅔ cups) milk
- 80 g (⅓ cup) butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the waffle iron.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla, pour into the dry ingredients and stir just until smooth.
- Brush the waffle iron with a little butter or oil and pour in enough batter to cover about two thirds of the plate.
- Close and cook for 3–5 minutes, until golden and the steam has almost stopped.
- Transfer to a wire rack so they stay crisp, and repeat with the rest of the batter.
