Recipe by Peter G

Published August 31, 2025

Waffles are the quintessential breakfast treat, offering a crispy exterior and a soft, airy interior that perfectly cradles your favorite toppings. This classic recipe delivers irresistible waffles every time, making your mornings extra special and absolutely delicious.

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary, though many modern waffle irons are non-stick.

Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter (depending on your waffle iron size) onto the hot waffle iron. Do not overfill.

Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. The cooking time may vary based on your waffle iron.

Carefully remove the cooked waffle and serve immediately, or keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F/95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.

Final Notes

These golden waffles are perfect served with a generous drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. They're a delightful way to start any day, and any leftover waffles can be cooled completely, then frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick and easy breakfast later.
