Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 egg.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly. Then, add the milk and vegetable oil to the egg and whisk until the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires greasing, lightly brush it with oil or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Once the waffle iron is hot, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the iron, using a ladle or measuring cup. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter works well.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time may vary depending on your specific waffle iron.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle using a fork or tongs and place it on a wire rack to keep it crisp. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
- Enjoy your delicious Zeb's Waffles!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, measure out your dry ingredients the night before and store them in an airtight container. This way, you can simply mix them with the wet ingredients when you're ready to cook.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense waffles, so don’t worry if there are a few lumps!
- Heat Matters: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before pouring in the batter. This ensures a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Grease Wisely: If your waffle iron tends to stick, lightly grease it with oil or non-stick spray. Just a small amount will do the trick!
- Keep Them Crisp: After cooking, place your waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them on a plate. This prevents steam from making them soggy and keeps them deliciously crisp.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t be afraid to get creative! Try adding chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter, or serve with yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for a gourmet touch.
- Batch Cooking: If you’re feeding a crowd, double the recipe and keep the extra waffles warm in the oven on a low setting until you’re ready to serve.With these tips in hand, you're all set to make Zeb's Waffles a breakfast staple in your home!
