BASIC WAFFLES

Steps:

• Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl and stir to mix well.
• Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
• Let batter sit for 5 minutes before using.
• Use less than you think on your 1st waffle, spreading batter with a non-stick spatula. Batter spreads and rises, so you don't want to overfill your waffle iron.
• Cook until done--varies depending on temperature of your waffle iron.

EASY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk milk and eggs; pour over flour mixture, and whisk gently to combine (don't overmix). Gently whisk in butter.
• Following manufacturer's instructions, cook waffles until deep brown and crisp. (For a standard waffle iron, pour a generous 1/2 cup of batter into center, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges, and close; waffle will cook in 2 to 3 minutes.) Serve warm, with maple syrup and butter, as desired.

THE BEST EVER WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.
• Separate the eggs, adding the yolks to the dry ingredient mixture, and placing the whites in a small mixing bowl.
• Beat whites until moderately stiff; set aside.
• Add milk and melted butter to dry ingredient mixture and blend.
• Fold stiff egg whites into mixture.
• Ladle mixture into hot waffle iron and bake.

CLASSIC CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, shortening and eggs in another bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's okay if there are some lumps).
• Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
• Serve with maple syrup, butter, sugar or fruit preserves.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
• For the lightest waffles, separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk mixture. If you do not plan on separating the egg, whisk the whole egg into the milk mixture.
• If you separate the egg, add the egg white to another bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat until stiff, and then set aside.
• Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until only small lumps are left. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
• Set the batter aside for five to ten minutes while preparing the waffle iron.
• Heat the waffle iron to the highest heat setting.
• Cook waffles until golden and crisp, adding enough batter to the waffle iron to fill the entire lower grid. If the waffles look too dark, turn the heat down slightly.
• Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm and crispy on a rack in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Stacking them outside the oven will cause them to steam and become floppy.
