Basic Waffle Recipe

Homemade waffles are one of the quickest breakfasts you can prepare for your kids and the best part is the leftovers, if any, can be made into other meals or freeze them for another morning. Waffles are so versatile that I believe anyone could likes them if they find the version that best suits their taste buds. 

From plain with maple syrup, chocolate chip or blueberry, spreading some peanut butter and strawberry jam on them, or what about cutting them into sticks for dipping, there is sure a version you can find to please your family. 

Basic Waffle Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons of sugar

1 tablespoon of baking powder

½ teaspoon of salt

1 ¾ cups of milk

6 tablespoons of vegetable oil

2 large eggs

In medium size bowl mix together all dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl mix all wet ingredients, milk, vegetable oil and eggs. Combine wet to dry ingredients while whisking. Whisk until there is know more lumps.

Once waffle iron is warm pour ¾ of a cup of batter onto iron and close lid. Depending how golden brown you like, cook between 2 to 4 minutes pending on waffle machine. Open and carefully remove the baked waffle and repeat.

Tips
