How to Make Oh Boy Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
