Course Breakfast Cuisine American Keyword waffle recipe, waffles Prep Time 15 minutes minutes Cook Time 5 minutes minutes Resting Time 10 minutes minutes Total Time 20 minutes minutes Servings 10 waffles Chelsea Lords Calories 272kcal Author Chelsea Lords Ingredients▢ 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted▢ 1 cup whole milk (minus 1 tablespoon)▢ 1 tablespoon white vinegar (not white wine vinegar)▢ 1 and 3/4 cups white all-purpose flour▢ 2 tablespoons cornstarch▢ 1/4 teaspoon baking soda▢ 1 tablespoon baking powder▢ Optional: 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (can increase to 1 full teaspoon as desired)▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt▢ 3 tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed▢ 2 large eggs ▢ 1 egg yolk▢ 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract▢ 2/3 cup heavy creamUS - Metric USMetric InstructionsPREP: Melt butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, then chill to room temperature. In a liquid measuring cup, add 1 tablespoon white vinegar and fill to the 1-cup line with milk. Whisk and let sit for 5 minutes.DRY INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Adjust salt according to preference and type (e.g., fine sea salt - add 1/2 teaspoon). Stir in brown sugar until combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.WET INGREDIENTS: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk with a fork. Add vanilla and heavy cream, whisk to combine. Pour in milk and vinegar mixture, whisk until fully combined.COMBINE: Pour wet ingredients into well of the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a wooden spoon until mostly combined (about 10 strokes), leaving a few streaks of flour. Add the melted butter (now at room temperature), stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.PREHEAT: Allow batter to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Preheat waffle iron (Note 1). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°F. Prepare a large sheet pan with a cooling rack on top and set aside.COOK: Using a 1/3 measuring cup, pour batter onto waffle iron and cook following the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle maker lacks a timer, cook until steam stops (typically 4 and 1/2 to 5 minutes - Note 2). Transfer waffles to prepared sheet pan with a cooling rack to keep them crisp, and place in the 200-degree oven or serve immediately with desired toppings. Repeat until all batter is used. Recipe NotesNote 1: Avoid using cooking spray on nonstick surfaces. It can build up and ruin the non-stick coating. Instead, lightly brush melted butter over the pan's surface. Note 2: Unsure when your waffle is ready? Many waffle irons signal completion with a light or beep. If yours doesn't, wait until steam stops seeping from the sides. Avoid opening the iron until steam ceases! Nutritional information is for waffles without any toppings.

Spectacular recipe. Way better waffles than out of the box. It’s not even close. Kids enjoyed the results very much. We didn’t have heavy cream so we had some fun and just dumped in some redi-whip instead! Reply
