How to Make Fluffy Waffles with Creamy Drizzle
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray if needed.
- Pour an appropriate amount of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron) and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the creamy vanilla drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and a splash of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
- Once the waffles are cooked, remove them from the waffle iron and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles stacked high, drizzled with the creamy vanilla sauce, and enjoy!
