Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large free-range egg
- 240 ml (8.1 fluid ounces) semi-skimmed milk
- 150 g (5.3 ounces) self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Optional Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 orange
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Crack the egg into the center of the dry ingredients, then vigorously whisk to incorporate, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour in whole milk (236 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces), stirring continuously to develop a smooth, consistent batter.
- Delicately fold in freshly grated orange zest and pure vanilla extract, which will infuse the waffles with aromatic undertones.
- Activate the waffle maker and set to medium-high heat, allowing it to warm thoroughly for optimal cooking performance.
- Lightly coat the waffle iron’s surfaces with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter to prevent adhesion.
- Carefully ladle approximately 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading gently to ensure even distribution.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the exterior achieves a golden-brown, crispy texture.
- Gently remove the waffle using a heat-resistant spatula, transferring to a warm plate.
- Garnish with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream for a delectable finishing touch.
Notes
- Store freshly made waffles in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
- Refrigerate leftover batter or cooked waffles within two hours of preparation.
- Freeze individual waffles by placing parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.
- Reheat frozen waffles directly in the toaster for a quick crispy breakfast.
- Enjoy sweet or savory toppings like creamy avocado, crispy bacon, or drizzled honey.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free self-raising flour for celiac-friendly waffles.
- Keep waffles warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing additional batches.
- Use cooled waffles as a base for sandwich-style meals or dessert creations.
- Wrap leftover waffles tightly in plastic wrap to prevent moisture and freezer burn.
- Thaw frozen waffles overnight in the refrigerator for best texture and flavor.
