Crisp Fluffy Waffles Guide (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 3/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 cups (480ml) milk
06 - 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the waffle iron. If it offers settings, select a darker or higher heat setting for crispier waffles.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a slightly lumpy batter is ideal.
05 - Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray. Add approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle, adjusting based on waffle maker size. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
06 - Place cooked waffles onto a wire rack to retain crispness. Serve hot with maple syrup, butter, or your preferred toppings.

# Notes:

01 - Weigh the flour for accuracy to ensure light and fluffy waffles.
02 - Allow eggs to reach room temperature for improved batter consistency, though cold eggs will also work.
03 - Place waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking to prevent softening from steam.
04 - Reheat the waffle iron briefly between batches for optimal crispness.
