Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) melted butter
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml) sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mixing Dry Ingredients: Blend flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, forming a foundational mixture that ensures structural integrity and airy texture for the waffles.
  2. Combining Wet Components: Vigorously whisk egg, sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture transforms into a harmonious, smooth liquid with consistent color and texture.
  3. Batter Preparation: Delicately integrate wet ingredients into dry ingredients, using minimal stirring to prevent developing a dense waffle – embrace small lumps as indicators of tender final product.
  4. Waffle Iron Preparation: Preheat waffle iron and apply a light coating of non-stick spray to guarantee effortless waffle release and achieve a lustrous, golden exterior.
  5. Cooking Process: Dispense batter evenly across the iron’s surface, allowing precise distribution that creates uniformly thick waffles. Cook for 5-7 minutes until surfaces turn a rich, caramel-like brown with crisp edges.
  6. Glaze Creation: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture develops a silky, cascading consistency without granular remnants.
  7. Finishing Touch: Immediately dunk freshly cooked waffles into the glaze, permitting excess to elegantly drip away, then transfer to serving plate while maintaining optimal temperature and textural appeal.

Notes

  • Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter minimally to keep waffles tender and avoid developing tough, chewy texture.
  • Waffle Iron Prep: Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release and achieve golden, crispy exterior.
  • Perfect Cooking Time: Watch for rich golden-brown color and crisp edges, typically 5-7 minutes depending on waffle iron.
  • Glaze Application: Dunk warm waffles immediately into silky glaze, letting excess drip for an even, professional-looking coating.
