Waffles are a breakfast favorite that can be enjoyed in countless ways.

Their crispy exterior and fluffy interior make them a delightful treat, whether topped with fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream. Dear Lykkers! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making delicious homemade waffles.

Materials and Quantities Needed

• All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups

• Granulated Sugar: 2 tablespoons

• Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon

• Salt: ½ teaspoon

• Eggs: 2 large

• Milk: 1 ¾ cups

• Unsalted Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), melted

• Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

• Cooking Spray: For greasing the waffle iron

Production Steps

1. Prepare the Waffle Iron:

Preheat: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Most waffle irons will have an indicator light or beep when they are ready to use.

Grease: Lightly spray the waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent the batter from sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Sifting helps ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and that there are no lumps in the batter.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the melted butter has cooled slightly before adding it to the mixture to prevent scrambling the eggs.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Over-mixing can lead to dense waffles.

5. Cook the Waffles:

Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter needed will depend on the size and type of your waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for 3-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Check: Open the waffle iron carefully and check the waffle. It should come out easily and be golden brown. If necessary, cook for an additional minute.

6. Serve:

Remove the waffle from the iron and serve immediately while hot. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.

7. Store and Reheat:

If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Reheat in a toaster or oven to regain their crispy texture.
