Homemade Waffles Recipe
Homemade waffles are a delicious way to start your day off right! They’re also a great dish to make with kids because they can get involved in the cooking process.
This post will teach you how to make homemade waffles that are just as good as the ones you find in the restaurant! With simple ingredients and about 5 minutes of prep work, you’ll have those deliciously fluffy waffles on your plate in no time.
It’s so much fun to watch kids mix ingredients into one bowl and then pour that batter onto the hot griddle (with a little help, naturally). The smell of fresh-baked waffles will fill your kitchen as you wait for them to cook through on both sides.
Ingredients
For these delicious homemade waffles, you need the following ingredients:
- 1 ยฝ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ยผ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon
- ยผ teaspoon salt
- pinch nutmeg
Variations
You can add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, and chia seeds to change the flavor and add texture. Or you can enjoy them plain and top them instead with maple syrup, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, blueberry pie filling, or even ice cream!
How To Make Waffles
You start by combining milk and vinegar. Doing this is similar to using buttermilk but eliminates the need for you to run out to the store to buy it. Simply mix the two items together and set them aside for 2-3 minutes.
Next, whisk an egg in a large bowl until the yolk and white are combined and no streaks remain. Don’t worry – you don’t have to whisk until stiff peaks form.
Add the dry ingredients and milk mixture to the bowl and whisk until there are no lumps and is smooth.
Heat up your waffle maker and add the waffle batter to the heated waffle iron and bake per the manufacturer’s directions until the waffles are golden brown. This batter works in a Belgian waffle maker, a mini waffle maker, or whatever waffle maker you have.
Once those golden brown squares come out of the waffle iron, you’ll want nothing more than butter melting over top and syrup drizzled around each side – or maybe even some fruit on top! You’ll never have another boring breakfast again once you’ve tried this recipe out for yourself!
And don’t forget about leftovers – these waffles freeze beautifully too so you can enjoy them anytime without having to do any work in advance. Enjoy your new favorite breakfast today with this easy recipe that everyone will love!
