Best Fluffy Classic Waffle Recipe

Mix Dry Ingredients. Start heating the waffle iron. Melt 5.5 tablespoons(80g) unsalted butter (done most easily in a small bowl in a microwave for 45s-1min). To keep waffles warm until serving, heat oven to 100F(40C) and then turn it off and leave it closed so it will stay warm. Put 2 cups(240g) of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons(20g) baking powder, 1 teaspoon(6g) salt, and 2 tablespoons(25g) of sugar in a large bowl and whisk dry ingredients together until combined.

Add wet ingredients. Add to the dry ingredients: 2 eggs, 1.5 cups(355ml) 2% or whole milk, and the 5.5 tablespoons(80g) melted butter and then whisk together until combined evenly.

Cook Waffles. Using the batter, cook waffles according to the instructions that come with your waffle maker. For me, this meant using a scant cup(235ml) of batter per each waffle, as shown below. For my waffle maker, 3.5 minutes is a good cook time for each waffle, but yours may be different. As each waffle is finished, add it to a heat safe plate and store it in the warm oven.
