Golden Crisp Waffles (Printable Version)

Golden, crispy exterior with fluffy interior, ready in 35 minutes for the ultimate breakfast experience.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1¾ cups whole milk
07 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix as small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
06 - Pour enough batter to just cover the waffle grid. Close lid and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
07 - Remove cooked waffle and repeat with remaining batter until all is used.
08 - Serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or melted chocolate as desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The outside gets impossibly crisp while staying impossibly tender inside, like breakfast magic
  • This batter comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like you spent all morning planning it
02 -
  • Overmixed batter makes tough waffles—stop stirring the moment you dont see big dry patches
  • Letting the melted butter cool slightly prevents it from scrambling your eggs when you mix them
03 -
  • Separate your eggs, beat the whites until fluffy, and fold them in at the end for the lightest waffles youve ever made
  • A splash of lemon juice in the milk creates a homemade buttermilk situation if youre in a pinch
