Classic Sunday Morning Waffles

I haven’t worked on many waffle recipes, mostly because I’d never owned a waffle iron until recently. I worked on a project for a client who is opening a breakfast café, where they asked to include some waffle options. It was a great excuse to buy a new piece of equipment!

Classic Sunday Morning Waffles

I haven’t worked on many waffle recipes, mostly because I’d never owned a waffle iron until recently. I worked on a project for a client who is opening a breakfast café, where they asked to include some waffle options. It was a great excuse to buy a new piece of equipment!

I discovered a great classic waffle recipe that comes together pretty easily. I realized that part of the reason I love waffles so much is that they include a bunch of melted butter in the batter…

Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 2 Tbsp white granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• A tiny sprinkle of ground cinnamon
• 3 whole eggs
• 12 Tbsp 1.5 sticks butter, melted
• 1.5 cups whole milk

Instructions 

• Mix together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, Kosher salt, and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, melted butter, and whole milk.
• Pour the liquid mixture into the larger bowl with the dry ingredients, and gently whisk to combine.
• *The batter doesn’t need to be completely smooth at this stage, avoid overmixing. You can fold in items like toasted chopped nuts at this stage, if you want!
• Cook your waffles according to the instructions on your waffle iron, making sure to lightly spray the top and bottom cooking surfaces of the waffle iron with a light layer of cooking spray before adding about ½ cup of batter to the oiled surface.
• Spread the waffle batter to within ¼ inch of the edge of the waffle iron, and then gently close the waffle iron and cook the waffle until perfectly golden-brown.
• Serve the waffles warm, with pats of softened butter, warm maple syrup, and maybe some homemade whipped cream!

Notes

These are best eaten warm, although you can keep them covered in the oven at about 140˚F to keep them warm for about thirty minutes before serving.
