Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking spray
Additional butter fresh fruit, or maple syrup for topping, as desired

Instructions

Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another, larger bowl, whisk the eggs together until blended. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined, then whisk in the dry ingredient mixture. Don’t overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
Grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle in enough waffle batter to fill the waffle iron almost to the edges, and close the iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes, then remove the waffles to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Makes 10-12 waffles.
Serve the waffles hot, topped with butter, fresh fruit, and syrup, as desired.

Notes

Storage: Waffles are best eaten fresh but will keep in an airtight container for up to one week. To reheat, pop them in the toaster until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the oven until crisp again. To freeze, freeze in an even-layer on a sheet pan. Once frozen transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag and store for up to 6 months. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or oven until warmed through.
