Preheat Your Waffle Iron
- Get it nice and hot so the batter starts cooking immediately for maximum crispiness.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
Combine and Rest
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined (a few lumps are okay).
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes — this makes the waffles fluffier.
Cook the Waffles
- Lightly grease the waffle iron.
- Pour in the batter (don’t overfill) and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions — usually 3–5 minutes, until golden brown.
Serve Immediately
- Waffles are best enjoyed fresh and hot. Stack them high, add butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or even chocolate sauce.
Pro Tips for the Best Homemade Waffles
- For extra crispy waffles, replace ½ cup of milk with club soda.
- Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven (200°F / 95°C) until ready to serve.
- Freeze leftovers and reheat in a toaster for instant crispy waffles any day.
