Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar (adjust for sweetness)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, or a pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron. It should be hot enough to sizzle when the batter lands. If it has a temperature dial, aim for medium-high.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl. This keeps the flavors even and stops lumps from crashing the party.
  • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Don’t skip the vanilla—it’s the secret handshake for flavor.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients just until they’re mixed. A few tiny lumps are fine—overmixing makes waffles tough.
  • Fold in optional mix-ins if you’re feeling fancy or hungry.
  • Grease the waffle iron lightly, then pour batter. Don’t overfill; you want a nice, even rectangle. Close the lid and cook until steam dies down and the waffle is golden.
  • Carefully remove the waffle, repeat with remaining batter, and keep finished waffles warm if needed. Serve fresh for the best texture.
