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 and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions.
  5. Scoop the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup. Spread the batter evenly and close the lid.
  6. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crispy. The cooking time depends on your waffle iron, but it's usually around 3-5 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and keep them warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the Belgian waffles hot, with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
