Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Waffle Maker

    Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

    Lightly grease the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray or oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm with your choice of toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
