Waffles aren't just for fancy restaurants anymore. With the recipe and steps below, you can whip up a batch of waffles that are both delicious and filling.
So, ditch the agege bread let's make some waffles!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated or brown sugar, your choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk (full-cream or evaporated milk works best)
- 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds a lovely touch)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Optional toppings:
- Syrup (golden syrup, maple syrup, or even palm syrup.)
- Fresh fruit (mango, pineapple, bananas, berries)
- Whipped cream or yoghurt
- Chopped nuts (groundnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- Chocolate chips or sprinkles
Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This is crucial for even cooking and crispy waffles.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder (if using), and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract (if using).
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking just until combined. Don't overmix. A few lumps are okay, they contribute to the fluffiness.
- Lightly spray your preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour batter onto the waffle iron, using just enough to fill the wells without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve your waffles hot and fluffy with your choice of toppings. Dig in and enjoy!
