Instructions

• Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions until hot and ready to cook.
• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 4 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
• Warm 1 1/2 cups milk until just warm (about 1 minute in the microwave or gently warmed on the stovetop). It should feel slightly warm, not hot.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk 2 eggs until combined. Stir in the warmed milk, 6 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk just until the batter is blended and mostly smooth; a few small lumps are fine—do not overmix.
• Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron if your manufacturer's instructions recommend it. Scoop an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (do not overfill) and close the lid.
• Cook each waffle until golden brown and crisp, following your waffle iron's timing guidance. When done, transfer waffles to a wire cooling rack to keep them crisp.
• Serve waffles immediately, or let them cool completely and store flat in zip-close freezer bags for longer storage.
