Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil plus more for greasing

Equipment

  • waffle iron
  • mixing bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your waffle iron to the recommended setting and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Mixing
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.
Cooking
  1. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, or as much as needed to cover the plates.
  2. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the cooked waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
  2. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.

Notes

For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Do not open the waffle iron too early, as this can prevent the waffles from rising properly and becoming crispy.
