Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate syrup
Feel free to substitute the milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, and if you’re in the mood for something a bit more indulgent, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. My grandmother always said that the best dishes come from a pinch of love, and these waffle cakes are no exception.
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This step reminds me of the anticipation I felt as a child, waiting for my abuela’s tortillas to puff up perfectly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Creating a solid foundation is important in both cooking and life.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray, then pour the batter in, spreading it evenly.
- Close the lid and cook until the waffle cake is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. The aroma will remind you of a cozy morning in Charleston with Biscuit by your side.
- Carefully remove the waffle cake and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Top with your choice of whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup — whatever makes your taste buds dance!
