Best Classic Waffles Recipe
This Classic Waffles Recipe makes waffles that are perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Servings: 6 large waffles
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup light oil such as canola or vegetable
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 3/4 cups milk I normally use 2%
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and stir to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the eggs, oil, applesauce, and milk.
- Whisk all ingredients together until a thin and slightly lumpy batter forms.
- Pour the batter into your waffle iron according to manufacturers directions.
- When the waffle is done cooking, carefully place it on a wire rack to cool, taking care not to stack the waffles on top of each other. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve waffles hot with your favorite topping, such as buttermilk syrup, strawberries, and whipped cream.
Notes
- If you don't have applesauce, you can replace it with oil. I often have it on hand and like the added sweetness and moisture it brings to the waffles, but you can use what you have on hand.
- Waffles freeze beautifully. Place them in a zip-top freezer bag and store up to two months. Reheat them in the toaster or oven.
- Be sure to pre-heat your waffle iron so that the waffles come out golden.
- Grease your waffle iron with a little cooking spray, butter, or oil in between each waffles to prevent sticking.
