Ingredients

For these delicious homemade waffles, you need the following ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• pinch nutmeg

How To Make Waffles

1. 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.
2. 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.

1. Add the dry ingredients and milk mixture to the bowl and whisk until there are no lumps and it is smooth.
2. Heat your waffle maker, 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.

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!

Tips for Perfect Waffles

• Add a touch of flavor. Try mixing in a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, or even a handful of chocolate chips for a fun twist.
• Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined—overmixing can make waffles tough instead of light and fluffy.
• Preheat your waffle iron. A hot iron ensures golden, crisp edges and helps the batter cook evenly.
• Keep them warm. Place cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch. They’ll stay crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
