Equipment

  • Waffle maker cast iron stovetop maker or an electric nonstick maker
  • Grain mill

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups soft white wheat flour 260g spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt fine grain sea salt, not table salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup milk I use whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  • Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then stir just until everything comes together. Let the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Lightly spray your waffle iron with cooking oil, then pour about 1 cup of batter, depending on the size of your waffle iron, into the center of the iron, leaving about a half inch from the edge, and close the lid. Cook until crispy (see notes on cooking with a cast iron stovetop waffle iron).
  • Use a fork to gently and carefully lift the waffle out. Repeat for the rest of the batter.

Notes

  • If the waffles seem a little flat and soft, you'll likely need to add more flour. I would just add about 1/8 of a cup at a time to your existing batter. (this shouldn't be necessary if you measure by weight!)
  • I really suggest letting the batter sit for at least 5 minutes before adding it to the waffle iron if you can! 
  • This recipe makes approximately 10 waffles. The yield will depend on the size of your waffle iron.
  • If your waffle iron is non-stick, there is no need to grease it first!
  • If you are using a cast iron stovetop waffle iron, make sure you preheat it first, then carefully open the lid, add your batter, close the lid, and flip it immediately. Cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes. separate the two halves and remove the waffle.
