Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups (420ml) milk, whole or 2%
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and stir gently.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined; a few small lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with butter or oil. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffle with a silicone spatula and place it on a cooling rack to keep crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough waffles. Use cornstarch for extra crispiness. Preheat the waffle iron fully before cooking. Let waffles rest on a cooling rack to keep them crispy. If waffles stick, brush the iron with melted butter before the next batch. Avoid stacking waffles immediately after cooking to prevent sogginess.
