Method

Waffle Batter Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry

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

Waffle Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Waffle Iron

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

  2. 5

    Cook Waffles

    Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Keep Warm

    Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in an oven set to low heat while you cook the remaining batter.

Whipped Butter Preparation

  1. 7

    Whip Butter

    In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter until creamy.

  2. 8

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fluffy and well combined.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    Place the waffles on plates, top with a generous dollop of whipped butter, and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
