- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender.
- Pour batter into waffle iron: Ladle the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly without overflowing.
- Cook the waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; small lumps are okay for fluffy waffles.
- Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Use melted butter for a richer flavor and crisp texture.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra festive flair if desired.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for convenience.
