The kids are back in school. How did this happen? Summer, where did you go? Judging by the temperature outside, you’re still very much here. Yet school has begun. Sigh. The kids started back to school on Monday. So, what better way to reward them for trudging through the week than with easy waffles for a big weekend breakfast? This recipe is super simple. I just mix everything in my stand mixer, adding the ingredients one at a time and then when the waffle iron is hot, just pour 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle.
Directions for easy waffles
Turn on and heat up the waffle iron.
In a mixer bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Turn the mixer on low and slowly pour in the milk and oil. Scrape down the sides if needed and then add the eggs, one at a time. Turn the mixer up a little and add the vanilla extract. Scrape it all around to be sure there’s nothing stuck on the sides or on the bottom and then you’re ready to pour the mix into a hot waffle iron.
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter for each side of the waffle. Waffle irons vary, you can see here with mine, I have a very low-tech, inexpensive one. I pour in the batter, close the lid, then immediately flip it over so the batter cooks evenly. My waffle iron has two lights, green and red. Green means it’s ready for batter to be poured in and then it will turn green again when the waffle is ready. Note that you don’t want to completely fill the compartments with waffle mix. You need room for the waffle to expand or else it will leak out the sides.
