Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk -room temperature (You can use cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.)

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to fully preheat. Lightly grease the surface with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the egg until fluffy. Add the milk, vanilla, melted butter, and sugar, and whisk until well combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Gently whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • Pour Batter: Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface without overflowing. If your waffle maker is smaller, you may have some leftover batter for an additional waffle.
  • Cook: Close the waffle maker and cook until the steam stops rising. The waffle should be golden brown and crisp.
  • Serve: Use tongs to carefully lift the waffle out of the iron. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read Your Manual: Always start by reading your waffle maker's instructions, as models vary in cooking times and techniques.
  • Preheat Fully: A properly preheated waffle iron ensures a crisp, golden crust.
  • Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until combined—it's fine if it’s a little lumpy.
  • Lightly Grease: Use a small amount of oil or non-stick spray to keep the waffle from sticking.
  • Watch the Steam: Wait for the steam to stop rising from the waffle maker; it's a sign your waffle is cooked but still moist inside.
  • Waffle Maker Size: This recipe works for a Belgian waffle maker. If your maker is smaller, any leftover batter can be used for an extra waffle.
