Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Waffle Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
-
Cook the Waffles:
- Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about ½ cup of batter or the amount recommended by the manufacturer.
- Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Serve the waffles hot, drizzled with additional honey and your favorite toppings such as butter, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
Tips:
- Keep them warm: If making a large batch, keep the cooked waffles warm in an oven set to 200°F (93°C) until ready to serve.
- Crispier waffles: For extra crispy waffles, increase the cook time slightly or let the waffles sit on a wire rack for a few minutes after cooking to help them stay crisp.
