How To Make One Waffle

These step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make a single waffle.See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.

1. Start your waffle mix: In a large bowl, mix the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

2. Next, gently fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a whisk, stirring until just combined. It’s fine if there are a few lumps remaining in the waffle batter—no need to overmix.

3. Cook the waffle: Ladle the waffle batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook until each waffle is golden and crisp.

Serving Suggestions

Indulging in a waffle shouldn’t just stop at the fluffy, golden disk itself. It’s all about the toppings and pairings that make the waffle a star dish. Here are some mouthwatering ideas to take your waffle from “yum” to “can’t get enough.”

• Caramelized Bananas: Think beyond the basic banana slices. Caramelized bananas, cooked with a sprinkle of brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon, make an incredibly sweet and decadent topping that pairs perfectly with the waffle’s crispy edges.
• Lemon Curd: For a bright and tangy twist, slather some homemade or store-bought lemon curd on top of your waffle. The zesty lemon flavor is a refreshing contrast to the waffle’s natural sweetness.
• Fried Apples: Imagine a combination of warm, cinnamon-spiced apples sitting atop your fluffy waffle. Fried apples add an autumnal feel that evokes comfort food nostalgia.
• Apple Butter: For a taste that’s both sweet and spiced, a dollop of apple butter can do wonders. It adds richness and depth of flavor that simple butter just can’t match.
• Caramelized Plums: Elevate your waffle game with caramelized plums. These plums, cooked down with just a bit of sugar, offer a tart and sweet complexity that pairs exceptionally well with a crisp, fluffy waffle.
• Chocolate Lovers: Melt some dark chocolate and pour it over your waffle. Add a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. It’s like dessert for breakfast but without the guilt.
• Fresh Berries – Top with some strawberries, blueberries or any type of fresh berries.
