Golden Crisp Breakfast Waffles (Printable)

Golden, crispy waffles with tender interiors. Ready in 35 minutes for the ultimate breakfast experience.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar
03 - 1 tbsp baking powder
04 - ½ tsp salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1¾ cups whole milk
07 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
08 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix as a few small lumps are acceptable.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
06 - Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to just cover the grid. Close the lid and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
07 - Remove the cooked waffle and repeat with remaining batter until all waffles are prepared.
08 - Serve warm with your choice of toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, whipped cream, or melted chocolate.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The batter comes together in under ten minutes using pantry staples you already have
  • These freeze beautifully so you can batch cook weekend waffles for easy weekday breakfasts
02 -
  • Overmixing develops gluten and makes waffles tough, so stop stirring when you still see small lumps in the batter
  • Letting cooked waffles rest on a wire rack instead of stacking them keeps them crispier for longer
03 -
  • Separate your eggs and whip the whites to fold in at the end for extra fluffy waffles every time
  • Cornstarch replaces 2 tablespoons of flour for restaurant style crispiness that lasts longer
