crispy waffles recipe - featured image

A simple and quick recipe for crispy waffles with a tender inside, served with real butter and pure maple syrup for a comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¾ cups (420ml) whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Butter, for serving
  • Pure maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for 5–7 minutes until hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix gently.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined; lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron with melted butter.
  6. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Close lid and cook for 4–5 minutes until steam slows and waffles are golden brown.
  7. Remove waffles carefully and place on a wire rack to keep crisp while cooking the rest.
  8. Serve immediately topped with butter and drizzled with pure maple syrup.

Notes

Preheat the waffle iron fully for crispiness. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Brush the waffle iron with melted butter before cooking to prevent sticking. Keep cooked waffles on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Resting batter for 5 minutes before cooking improves texture. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, see recipe variations.
