Method

Waffle Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Preheat Waffle Iron

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

  5. 5

    Cook Waffles

    Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.

Crispy Chicken Tenders (Optional)

  1. 6

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten egg and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

  2. 7

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken tender into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 8

    Fry Chicken Tenders

    Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken tenders in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serving
