Ingredients You’ll Need

To whip up these fantastic waffles, you’ll need:

• Sugar: Just a touch of sweetness to enhance the flavor.
• Milk: Whole milk, 2%, or your favorite non-dairy milk will work perfectly.
• Eggs: Essential for binding the waffle batter together.
• Melted Butter: Adds richness and flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: Opt for pure vanilla extract to elevate the taste.

Different Types of Flour

Let’s dive deeper into the flour options:

• Self-rising flour: It’s all-purpose flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt already mixed in. Commonly used in classic southern recipes, it ensures proper rising.
• Cake flour: Ideal for making light and airy cakes due to its finer texture and lower protein content.
• Bread flour: Specifically designed for bread recipes, it has a higher protein content, enabling proper gluten development and supporting the kneading process.

Let’s Make Waffles With Self-Rising Flour

Are you ready to embark on a waffle-making adventure? Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended. Add the sugar and mix again.
3. Pour in the self-rising flour and mix until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
4. Spray the waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray or spread melted butter evenly. Add the batter and cook according to the waffle maker’s instructions.
5. Serve your delightful waffles with maple syrup and butter, or get creative with your favorite toppings!

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few helpful tips to ensure waffle perfection:

• With a large waffle maker, this batter yields about 5 waffles. If you have a smaller waffle maker, you might get 8-10 waffles.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
• An ice cream scoop can come in handy for evenly distributing the batter.

Variations

Take your waffles to the next level with these delicious variations:

• Add chocolate chips for a delightful chocolatey surprise.
• Incorporate blueberries, either frozen or fresh, to add bursts of fruity goodness.
• Substitute melted butter with vegetable oil or coconut oil for a unique twist.
• Craving chocolate waffles? Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter along with the flour.

Spread some butter on your waffles too!

Storage Tips

Here’s how you can make the most of your waffle enjoyment:

• Making the batter ahead of time: Mix all the ingredients together and store the batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. If the batter thickens, add a few tablespoons of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
• Making the waffles ahead of time: Once cooled, store the waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until warm and crispy.
• Freezing the waffles: Allow the waffles to cool completely, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and place them in a gallon Ziploc bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. For a quick and easy breakfast, toast them in the toaster oven for 2 minutes or until completely thawed.

How To Serve Waffles

Let your creativity shine when it comes to serving these waffles:

• Classic combination: Drizzle your waffles with maple syrup and top with a pat of butter.
• Whipped cream delight: Dollop freshly made whipped cream onto your warm waffles for an indulgent treat.
• Jam it up: Try various jams like mixed berry, peach, strawberry, or blueberry to add a burst of fruity sweetness.
• Fresh and fruity: Decorate your waffles with fresh berries and sliced bananas for a refreshing twist.

Pour lots of maple syrup on them!
