Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar (white / brown / coconut sugar)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 egg (large)
3/4 cup milk (whole or skim)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled to lukewarm)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—until well combined to create an even distribution of leavening and flavor.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then gently fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick but pourable.
Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the hot waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the waffles.
Cook Waffles: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 5 to 6 minutes, until the waffles are deep golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve: Remove the cooked waffles carefully and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delicious breakfast.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender and fluffy; a few small lumps are fine.
If the batter is too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time to reach the desired consistency.
For extra crispiness, cook waffles until they are a deep golden brown.
You can use any type of sugar including white, brown, or coconut sugar according to preference.
These waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
