Its time to put that waffle iron languishing in the back of your cabinet to good use. These airy, delicate and crisp-edged waffles are so fabulous, yet so simple to throw together, theyre destined to become part of your weekend breakfast routine. Freeze leftovers, if you have any, in Ziplock bags and serve them during the week. You can pop them in the toaster to reheat (use a light setting) and they come out nearly as well as freshly made, maybe even slightly crunchier.
For a lighter, fluffier waffle, separate the eggs and proceed with step 2 using the egg yolks. Beat the whites until stiff, then fold into the batter. For whole-grain waffles, use 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour and ⅔ cup whole-wheat flour. You can also substitute brown sugar for the granulated.
- 2 cups all purpose flour.
- 2 tbsp sugar.
- 4 tsp baking powder.
- ½ tsp salt.
- 2 eggs.
- 1 1/2 cups milk.
- 6 tbsp butter, melted (see notes if using salted butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract.
