The Best Homemade Waffle Recipe

Hello Tatertots & Jello Readers! I’m Laurie from Gallamore West, and I’m so excited to be back here contributing in 2015. Today I’m sharing one of my absolute family favorite recipes with you, Homemade Waffles. We also call them Sunday Morning Waffles because it’s our Sunday morning tradition to have a big homemade waffle breakfast. These waffles are perfect because they are buttery, crunchy deliciousness on the outside and absolute melt in your mouth softness on the inside.

Here’s all you need to make your own delicious “Sunday Morning Waffles” at home.
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon white sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 stick unsalted butter, melted 2 eggs, separated* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups milk
Preheat your waffle iron. Whisk together all dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside. Pour milk into 2 cup glass measuring cup or small bowl. Add in vanilla extract and stir to combine. Separate eggs, adding the yolks to the milk/vanilla mixture and stirring to combine and putting the whites into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until soft peaks form. At this point, you’ll have four different bowls of ingredients.
*If you accidentally get some of the yolk into your egg whites, they won’t form soft peaks regardless of how long you try to whip them so if that happens, just skip whipping the egg whites and add the eggs whole to your milk mixture. Your waffles won’t fluff up quite as much, but will still taste amazing.

Add your milk mixture then the melted butter to the dry ingredients, using a wire whisk to combine. Then use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the fluffed egg whites, leaving some of the fluffiness.

Then just cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions and serve immediately. We love to top ours with all kinds of delicious toppings- peanut butter and syrup, banana slices and chopped pecans, strawberries and whipped cream… the possibilities go on and on.

This recipe makes a good size batch of waffles. Sometimes they’re gobbled up quickly, but I love it when we have some leftover. I just put them in a big Ziploc bag and store them in the refrigerator. Two minutes in the toaster and they’re hot and ready for a weekday morning breakfast!

On a side note… Our kitchen has terrible lighting for photos, but I made sure to include a few for you because we PAINTED OUR COUNTERTOPS a few weeks ago!! I absolutely LOVE how they came out and I’d love for you to pop over to Gallamore West and check them out. If you’re looking to update your kitchen on a budget, you’ll love this post! We’re going to paint our 1990’s oak cabinets within a few weeks, and I have an AMAZING backsplash to share with you too so be sure to check it out and follow along on our Gallamore West Budget Kitchen Makeover.
