Best Waffle Batter recipe
Description: 

A moist and slightly sweet homemade waffle batter

Yield: 

4-6 servings

Ingredients: 

1 3/4 cups flour*
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions: 

1. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, beat wet ingredients and then add to dry, stirring just until moistened.

3. Cook on pre-heated waffle iron until waffles are browned and test done. I like to set a timer so I don't have to keep checking, or risk forgetting to take the waffles out on time!

Hot fresh homemade waffles, fresh fruit, and freshly whipped cream! Really, few breakfasts can top this one in my opinion! :)

Additional Notes: 

This recipe is from Crystal Paine.

*Crystal notes, "We like to use whole wheat". She also says that this batter can be stored in the refrigerator until needed.

I do think this recipe is better with whole wheat flour. I like to let the batter set for a few minutes before starting to cook the waffles, so it thickens just slightly and isn't as runny.

Tammy's Review: 

This is the easiest waffle batter ever! It's also really tasty! I like the medium sweetness, since our classic waffle recipe has no sugar and our Belgian waffle recipe has a lot of sugar. This is right in the middle, and so easy to make and delicious! If you're in a hurry, this is the one to try!! My rating: 10/10

Excellent recipe

I made this recipe & it was fabulous! I used a little more flour (2 cups total), & an additional teaspoon of sugar of because I felt the batter was too thin (I like it thicker) and it was delicious. I poured the batter into the waffle iron & sprinkled pecans on top (pecan waffles are my favorite!) This one is a definite keeper! If you can find pecan extract or vanilla butter & nut extract (the bottle will say "vanilla butter & nut") add a teaspoon if you are making waffles that will have nuts in them like my pecan waffles.

Special breakfast on New Years Day

We got a Waring Pro professional waffle maker from my MIL for Christmas this year. We used the "Best Waffle" recipe this morning and it worked extremely well with no hassles at all for a New Years Day special breakfast (paired with 12 grapes and orange slices for good luck :) ). Thanks again for another wonderful recipe!

Saturday morning treat.

Tammy, I can never get enough of these. It is always a choice of these or PW's pancakes. The waffles have won the last few weekends. I cook them for 2 adults and 5 kids. This weekend I made some with chocolate chips and some plain. They all were good. A big hit with the kids....also quick and easy to mix up.

Easy and Versatile

I made these this morning, adding in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to please my little boy. They turned out great, and were super easy. Definitely a success. Loved the slightly sweet flavor.

Yummy !

This is the first recipe I try from this blog, and it's very good ! I made some waffles for my 3-year-old son coming back from school and he loved them. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Favorite

My mom always had a waffle recipe where you had to beat egg whites and then fold into your batter. To much trouble for me so I stuck with Eggos. A few years and kids later we got a waffle iron but never found an easy recipe that we all liked until now. This is the best. We make waffles using this batter and our favorites have walnuts or pecans added. My son likes his waffles with cheese and bacon bits. We even used this recipe to make waffles for the men's breakfast at church. Had lots and lots of compliments. In fact, we had waffles for breakfast this morning. Very easy!!

I loved these but they were just slightly sweet, I think I like my waffles a little sweeter. Will make them again.

Pretty good!

I loved these, but my mom felt they were too soft: she prefers crispier waffles. Also, when I make them again, I'm going to cut down on the oil: a half-cup is a lot.

This recipe is so simple to whip up. It's actually just like making a pancake batter. If you like soft waffles, you'll love these!
