- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup turkey bacon cooked and crumbled, optional
- toppings whipped cream, fresh fruits, maple syrup
Instructions
- Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure crispy and golden waffles.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- If desired, fold in the cooked and crumbled turkey bacon for a savory twist.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the iron, close the lid, and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruits, and maple syrup.
Notes
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to achieve fluffier waffles.
- Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat frozen waffles in a toaster for a crispy texture like freshly made.
