Waffles

makes 4+ servings

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

2 eggs

1 3/4 cups milk (skim, low-fat, or whole)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and allowed to cool slightly

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Stir together the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

2. In a separate bowl, beat together the two eggs. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

3. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients; stir to combine. (Do not over-stir; the batter will be lumpy.)

4. Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the center of a lightly oiled waffle iron. Close the lid and allow to cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5. When done, use a fork to lift the waffle from the iron. Serve immediately, or place on a plate in a 200-degree oven to keep warm.
