Sweetest Hobby

I want to share with you a recipe that is the true star of our mornings at home: homemade waffles. Every bite brings a sense of comfort and a unique flavor that makes this the best waffle recipe you’ll ever try! And the best part is that making these waffles is super easy and quick, perfect for a special breakfast or any moment you want to make sweeter.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour (I used gluten-free)
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest (preferably Sicilian)
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 113 g of butter (slightly melted) or vegetable oil
• 1 3/4 cups of milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix all the liquid ingredients: milk (if using yogurt, mix it now), vegetable oil or butter, and vanilla extract or lemon zest, until well incorporated.
4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter. But don’t overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or vegetable oil.
6. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron according to the machine’s instructions.
7. Close the lid and cook the waffle until it is golden and crispy on the outside, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
8. Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve the waffles hot with your favorite toppings, such as honey, butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts.

Tip: You can substitute 1 ¾ cups of milk with 1 cup of milk and ¾ cup of Greek yogurt and mix well. (My measuring cup is 250ml.)

Until the next recipe!
