Classic Belgian Waffles Scratch (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 3 tablespoons sugar
03 - 4 teaspoons baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
05 - 1 ½ cups milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - ⅓ cup melted butter or oil
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your waffle iron. In the meantime, prepare your batter.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. If your ingredients are cold, the butter may solidify into tiny chunks but that's okay. Ensure the mixture is evenly mixed.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
05 - Grease the waffle iron with some oil, butter, or cooking spray. Scoop the batter into the waffle iron (the exact amount depends on your waffle iron). Cook until golden brown and crispy, then repeat with the remaining batter.
06 - Serve with maple syrup or your favorite waffle toppings.
