In a large bowl, place in the flour, sugar and sift in the baking powder and salt, whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, place in the milk, butter, eggs and vanilla, whisk to combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold the batter until just combined, it's okay if the batter is a little clumpy.
Preheat the waffle maker to 200°C (390°F). Once it comes to temperature, brush the grill plates with melted butter to prevent the waffles from sticking. Pour 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle and cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Repeat the same steps with the remaining batter.
Notes
It's not ideal to use chilled eggs and milk as it'll cause the melted butter to go clumpy and make it difficult to combine with the remaining ingredients.(NOTE 1) Plain flour(all-purpose flour) does not contain any leavening agents.(NOTE 2) Milk - The milk should be warm, between 36°C to 40°C (97°F to 104°F) is ideal. I zapped my milk in a microwave-safe jug for 20 seconds intervals and stirred it each time until it was lukewarm.(NOTE 3) Eggs - Take the eggs out of the fridge and leave them at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to making the waffles.Leftovers - Allow the waffles to cool completely at room temperature. Transfer the waffles into an airtight container and refrigerate, it'll be good for up to 5 days. Frozen waffles will keep for up to 3 months.Cooking measurements are in Australian standard spoon and cup measurements.A Third-Party Application calculated the calories and nutritional information.
