Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. For best results, ensure it's properly heated before adding the batter.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of buttermilk (or regular milk), 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons of oil until smoothly combined.
4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and whisk until just combined, avoiding overmixing which can make the waffles dense.
5
Once the waffle maker is preheated, pour approximately 1 cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and flip the waffle maker over, allowing the batter to spread evenly.
6
Cook the waffle for about 3 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked waffles warm in an oven (set to 200°F) if needed.
