Instructions:

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This creates the foundation for the perfect Belgian waffle batter.

Whisk the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the wet ingredients are well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, ensuring not to overmix. A few lumps are okay for that authentic Belgian waffle texture.

Preheat the Waffle Iron:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures that your waffles cook evenly and achieve that delightful crispiness.

Pour Batter and Cook:

Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and easily lifts from the iron.

Serve Warm:

Remove the golden waffle from the iron and place it on a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve the waffles warm, allowing the delightful aroma to fill the air.

Top and Enjoy:

Enhance the experience by topping your Classic Belgian Waffles with a dollop of whipped cream, a scattering of fresh berries, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. The options are endless!
