Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk (whole or buttermilk)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat the Waffle Iron:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Combine Mixtures:

Cook the Waffles:
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little oil if needed. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your waffle iron).
