Instructions
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours for a softer interior, or cook immediately.
- Preheat a waffle maker.
- Ladle in enough batter to cover the iron without overfilling. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3 1/2 to 6 minutes depending on the iron.
- Serve as you cook, or hold finished waffles on a rack in a 70°C/150°F oven.
Notes
Resting the batter is optional but improves the interior texture.
