The Best from scratch waffle recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my favorite from scratch waffle recipe. It’s a family tradition that’s been passed down for generations, and I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as we do.

Growing up, my grandparents would make these waffles for breakfast on Sundays, and the whole house would smell like fresh batter and sweet syrup. It was always a special treat, and I feel so lucky to be able to share that with my own family now.

The best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make, even for a beginner in the kitchen. All you need is some basic pantry staples and about 20 minutes of your time.

Trust me, it’s worth it – these waffles are fluffy, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or just need a quick breakfast on a busy morning, this recipe is sure to please.

Plus, it’s a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen – they can help mix the batter and even flip the waffles when they’re ready. My kids love being able to help out in the kitchen, and it’s such a great way to teach them about cooking and where food comes from.

🥘Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp white sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter, melted

For Toppings

maple syrup
fresh fruit
whipped cream

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
2Allow it to heat up for at least 5 minutes.
3This ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.
4In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
5Whisk the dry ingredients until they are evenly mixed.
6Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
7Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
8The batter should have a thick consistency, similar to pancake batter.
9Lightly grease the preheated 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 waffle until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and the steam has stopped escaping from the sides.
13This should take about 5-7 minutes.
14The waffle should be firm to the touch and easily release from the waffle iron.
15Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle iron and place it on a plate.
16Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
17Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Waffles from Scratch

Q: What kind of flour should I use for this recipe?

For this recipe, I recommend using all-purpose flour that has been freshly ground at home or store-bought all-purpose flour that has been stored properly in an airtight container.

Q: Can I use self-raising flour instead of all-purpose flour?

No, self-raising flour contains baking powder already mixed in, which can affect the texture of the waffles.

Q: How do I know if my waffles are done?

Cooking times may vary depending on your stovetop or waffle iron. However, as a general rule of thumb, you can check if your waffles are done by gently lifting one off the iron with your spatula – if it comes off easily and looks golden brown on both sides, they’re ready.

Q: Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time by preparing the batter up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerating it overnight before cooking. Just be sure to let it come back to room temperature before cooking.

Q: Can I freeze these waffles for later use?

Yes! These waffles freeze beautifully – simply place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve them again, simply thaw at room temperature or reheat in the toaster oven or microwave until crispy.
