Joanna Gaines Waffle Recipe
This Joanna Gaines Waffle Recipe is a total classic. These waffles are light, airy on the inside, and perfectly crisp on the outside.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose white flour.
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar.
- 2 large eggs at room temperature.
- 1 1/2 cups of whole milk at room temperature.
- 1/2 cup 1 stick of unsalted butter (melted).
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Non-stick cooking spray for the iron.
Instructions
Prep the Iron
- Turn on your electric waffle iron to a medium-high heat setting. Let it get very hot before you start.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large glass bowl. This ensures the waffles rise evenly.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Make sure the butter is not too hot.
Combine the Batter
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry bowl. Stir gently until just combined today.
Let it Rest
- Let the batter sit for five minutes on the counter. This helps the waffles become much fluffier inside.
Grease the Iron
- Spray the hot waffle iron with a little non-stick cooking spray. This prevents any sticking.
Cook the Waffles
- Ladle the batter into the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve it Hot
- Remove the waffle carefully when it is golden brown. Serve it immediately while it is very warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter or the waffles get tough.
- Use a hot iron for the best crispy exterior today.
- Separating and whipping the egg whites makes them even airier.
- Place cooked waffles on a wire rack to stop them from getting soggy.
- Use real butter instead of oil for a much richer flavor.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for a good rise.
- Serve with warm maple syrup for the best experience.
