Best Waffles Scratch Fluffy (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 3/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 2 cups milk (480ml)
06 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the waffle iron. If settings are available, choose a darker or higher heat setting for crispier waffles.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
05 - Grease the hot waffle iron with melted butter or cooking spray.
06 - Pour about 1/3 cup of batter per waffle into the hot waffle iron (adjust based on the size of your waffle maker). Cook until golden brown.
07 - Serve hot waffles with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup or fresh fruit. Place cooked waffles on a wire rack to maintain crispness.

# Notes:

01 - Use room temperature eggs if possible to enhance the batter texture, but cold eggs can also work well.
02 - Weigh the flour for precise measurement to ensure a proper texture. If using a measuring cup, lightly fluff the flour, spoon it into the cup, and level it off with a knife.
03 - Do not over-mix the batter; a few lumps can result in fluffier waffles.
04 - Keep waffles crisp by placing them on a wire rack until serving, or warm a 200°F oven to hold them until ready.
