The Best home made waffle recipe

I’ve been making homemade waffles for my family for years, and it’s a recipe that never fails to impress. The process of creating these crispy, fluffy treats from scratch is not only therapeutic but also yields a deliciously authentic taste that store-bought waffles can’t match.

My kids love helping me in the kitchen, measuring out the ingredients and pouring in the batter. They’re always excited to see the waffles emerge from the iron, golden brown and hot off the press.

As for me, I love how versatile this recipe is – whether we’re having a lazy Sunday breakfast or a quick weeknight dinner, waffles are always a hit. And let’s not forget the health benefits of making your own waffles from scratch – you can control the amount of sugar and salt that goes into them, making it a much better option for families with young children.

Plus, there’s something special about enjoying a warm, homemade meal together as a family that just can’t be replicated with takeout or restaurant food.

1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil

For the Toppings

maple syrup
fresh fruit
whipped cream

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
2This ensures the waffle iron is hot enough to cook the waffles evenly.
3Wait until the indicator light shows it is ready.
4In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
5Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
6Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil.
7Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
8The batter should have a pourable consistency, similar to pancake batter.
9Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
10Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup for each waffle.
11Spread the batter evenly to cover the surface of the waffle iron.
12Cook the waffles for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle iron indicates they are done.
13The waffles should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a soft and fluffy interior.

📝Notes

Tips: For extra crispy waffles, keep them in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven while cooking the rest of the batter. This will help maintain their crispiness. You can also experiment with different toppings and mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts, to make the waffles your own.

This homemade waffle recipe is a great addition to any meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The combination of the crispy exterior and the soft interior makes for a perfect waffle every time. I always make sure to have some waffles on hand for when my family wants a quick and easy meal. You can store leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months, making them a convenient option for busy mornings or family gatherings.

To reheat, simply place the waffles in a toaster or toaster oven until heated through. You can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. I recommend serving the waffles warm, with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. It is a great way to get creative in the kitchen and to make something that the whole family will enjoy.
