How to Make Orange Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron. Lightly grease the grids with oil or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Add the zest of 1 large orange to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay.
  6. Ladle the batter onto the hot waffle iron, following the manufacturer's instructions. Cook until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately with butter, your favorite jam, and maple syrup. For make-ahead convenience, flash freeze cooked waffles individually on a baking sheet before storing in freezer bags. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
