Waffles are the superheroes of weekend breakfast! Sleeping in on a Saturday and having fresh waffles with maple syrup is the best.
While sometimes I might crave french toast or pumpkin scones, it’s waffles that make everyone happy!
Never made homemade waffles before? I’m here to assist you!
- This recipe creates perfect waffles with buttery crisp edges that yield to a light and fluffy interior.
- Homemade Waffles sweep the floor with the frozen toaster waffles—and you can even freeze leftovers!
- Making waffles from scratch is hardly any more difficult than using a waffle mix. Boxed waffle mix can definitely be convenient but really just saves you the step of mixing the dry ingredients together. You can combine our dry ingredients together ahead of time too.

Ingredients for Waffle Mix
Here’s what you need to make this easy waffle recipe.
PRO TIP: Store dry ingredients in a sealed container for easy access when making waffles.
For the dry waffle mix:
- All Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Sugar
- Kosher Salt
Combine these ingredients in a bowl, then proceed with the recipe.
If you like, you can make this in advance to store. Then the next time you want waffles, pull out the dry ingredients and use like you would use a storebought waffle mix!
Wet ingredients to make the waffle batter recipe:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Melted Butter
- Vanilla Extract
How to Make Waffle Batter
Easy as 1, 2, 3!
- Make the batter. Mix the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour it into the dry mix and whisk to combine. Let sit for a few minutes while you preheat your waffle iron.
- Prepare your waffle iron. Preheat your waffle iron. Spray waffle iron with baking spray before the FIRST batch only.
- Cook! Ladle batter into preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with remaining batter. Keep waffles warm until ready to serve!
You can also use a belgian waffle maker to make my classic waffle recipe.
Aimee’s best tip
Make sure your waffle iron is hot enough before adding the batter. If the iron is not hot enough, the waffle may not cook evenly inside. It could end up sticking to the pan.
Waffle Toppings
They built waffle squares to catch pools of maple syrup and butter.
- Fresh fruit and whipped cream are also heavenly on these waffles!
- If you haven’t tried my homemade buttermilk syrup yet, DO IT. Only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes, you’ll love the rich flavor!
- Don’t forget about the dessert waffles. A scoop of cold vanilla ice cream on top of a warm waffle just about makes me weak in the knees. (My kids have no complaints about them, either.) Add a drizzle of our homemade chocolate syrup or strawberry syrup to complete the treat.
Storage Tips
Make a large quantity of homemade waffles on the weekend and store any extras in the freezer. Then you’ll have convenient toaster waffles for weekday breakfasts, but with all the good taste of homemade!
To freeze waffles.
- Let all the waffles cool completely.
- Transfer to freezer bags with a sheet of wax paper between layers of waffle to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer until ready to use.
To reheat frozen waffles:
- Place individual waffle in a toaster or toaster oven and heat until cooked through.
- To reheat frozen waffles, bake them in the oven at 350 F. Cover with foil to prevent drying out while heating.

Homemade Waffles Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ⅔ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle griddle.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. This can also be stored and made ahead for later.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until combined. Let sit for several minutes while iron heats up.
- Spray waffle iron with baking spray before the FIRST batch only. Ladle into preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown. For the "DASH" brand, this will be about 3- 3 1/2 minutes each.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Along with a good waffle recipe, you need a good waffle iron! I love my Dash Waffle Iron. It’s inexpensive, easy to use and clean and always makes golden brown waffles.
- In my Dash waffle iron, the waffles take about 3 minutes to cookthrough. Yours might take a bit less time or a bit more. If you’re new to waffle making, this make take some trial and error until you really get to know your waffle iron!
- Keep waffles warm until ready to serve by setting them on a baking pan in the oven on the “warm” setting.
- Looking for low carb or gluten free? Use the Dash waffle maker to make Chaffles. Cheesy buns with no carbs!

What are you waiting for? Make these simple best-ever waffles for breakfast this week . . . or better yet, plan on breakfast for dinner! No one is ever disappointed to have hot homemade waffles on the menu.
I would cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp. It was a bit salty for my taste. This works great on the Dash Mini. It’s crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. ☺️
Make sure you’re using kosher salt, not table salt.
Great recipe! I substituted brown rice flour and almond milk ( for dietary restrictions), added cinnamon and it came out great 🙂
Can you email me the Homemade Waffle recipe?
what quantity of table salt can replace koshar cos cant fine it here in my state in nigeria
Use half the amount of salt if you’re using table salt.
I used 1 tsp table salt and salted butter. Didn’t bother me, but I will cut it down next time.
I used this recipe when I realized I was out of the pre made one I normally use and I was so happy with how well they turned out! They tasted better than I have ever made them before. Will definitely use this recipe again.
I made them using the mini Dash waffle maker , just as Aimee did .They came out perfect. Fluffy with crispy edges and good flavour. I managed to get 14 waffles from my batch. I recommend!

Made these last night for dinner. They were fantastic!! We’ll be making them again & again!
How many grams or milliliters do you need?
Google is a thing that could help you with that.
I made the recipe exactly as written except I couldn’t have because I’m using a dash Mini and there’s only one of me. The waffles were delicious and I was able to get 10 mini heart-shaped waffles from a 1/2 a recipe.
The flavor of these is absolutely delicious! My only complaint with this recipe is that they are VERY dense. 5 stars as the easiness of the recipe and flavor-SPOT ON!
can i use this same recipe for pancakes?
I typically use this recipe for pancakes: https://www.shugarysweets.com/buttermilk-pancakes/
I make these waffles all the time, using lactose free milk and gluten free flour along with a touch of cinnamon. Absolutely delicious!
I recently bought my first waffle maker at 31 lol and decided to make some waffles for the kids. I picked this recipe because I didn’t have to separate the eggs (who has time for that in the morning). I don’t know if to credit my waffle maker or this recipe but omg the waffles taste great!! Soft and fluffy every time, even when I cook them a little longer than recommended. Great recipe! Note, this only made 5 waffles for me in my Belgian waffle maker.
These came out very good by just following the recipe. Not sure how you can get 12 waffles as I only got 4 using my waffle maker.
Amiee;
Can u substitute flour for almond flour, I will try
Far too much scrolling to find the basic ingredients!!
Just click the “jump to recipe” button at the top. You clearly were able to scroll all the way down to comment, and take the time to comment.
I have a question. Can you substitute butter milk for milk?
These are the best waffles I have ever had, let alone made myself! Easy and so delicious! I made them Sunday and have been craving them eversince so I made them again today! Fluffy with a wonderful crispy crust! Thank you!
So happy to hear it!!
I used your waffle recipe and it was awesome. Thank you!
Amazing! I made half the recipe and they turned out perfect. I threw in some cinnamon and chocolate chips and they were BOMB. And I appreciate that this recipe is actually quick and not 30 mins.
I made 1/2 of this recipe. Added a little sprinkle of cinnamon and it was absolutely delicious! I bookmarked it and will make again for sure, thank you!
Glad to hear it!
