- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups warm milk
- ⅓ cup butter
- melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

Notes
- For extra fluffy waffles: Separate the eggs, mix the yolks with the wet ingredients, and beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whites into the finished batter.
- Avoid overmixing: Overmixing can make waffles dense rather than tender.
- Crispy edges: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them to help preserve their crispness.
- Adjust the consistency: If the batter seems unusually thick, add a small splash of milk.
- Make ahead: Cooked waffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze cooled waffles in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag with parchment between layers. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
- Topping ideas: Try fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup, honey, yogurt, or whipped cream.
- Nutrition: Values are estimates per waffle and depend on the waffle iron size, number of waffles made, and toppings. Toppings are not included.
