Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups milk
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional

Instructions
 

  • Step 1
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk together milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extracts, and eggs in another bowl.
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Step 2
  • Preheat a waffle iron according to the brand instructions, and lightly coat it with butter using a pastry brush or paper towel. Pour ½ cup batter onto the center of the lower grid of the waffle maker.  Spread the batter evenly with a heat-proof spatula, cover, and cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Butter the iron in between batches as needed. Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.

Notes

How to Freeze Waffles
Fully cooked waffles can be frozen in resealable, airtight plastic bags for up to 3 months. You can pop them in the toaster to reheat (use a light setting), and they come out nearly as well as freshly made, maybe even slightly crunchier.
