Here’s our Go-To Recipe for SSJ’s Best Basic Waffles. We most often add a sprinkling of chocolate mini chips on individual waffles before pressing. Or you can stir a cup right into the batter, should you so desire. They’re also great with banana slices and pecans sprinkled right on before pressing, because, you know, perfection may be attainable. We use a circular, traditional (non-Belgian) all-clad waffle iron at home. Just follow the baking times for your iron, whatever shape or size.
SSJ’s Best Basic Waffles
Waffles are a spiritual matter. These waffles, though basic, may, indeed, offer deliverance.
Servings: 8 Waffles
Equipment
- Waffle Iron [We use a round All-Clad traditional 4-slice iron]
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1½ cups milk, room temperature
- 1 cup mini-chocolate chips or pecan pieces & sliced bananas [optional]
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and make a well in the centre.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the bowl of dry ingredients and combine quickly with a whisk or spatula.
- Add whatever mixins you would like to the entire bowl of batter, or add them to each serving of waffle batter before you close the lid on each individual waffle. [We prefer the latter.]
- Add approximately ⅓ to ½ cup of batter to the heated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook according to manufacturer's instructions, or approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Waffles can be kept warm in a lowest-temperature oven on a rack set into a baking tray. Waffles may also be frozen and stored for up to 3 months.
