Instructions
1PREPARE THE BATTER: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Create a well in the center and pour in the lightly beaten eggs and milk. Mix gently from the center, gradually incorporating the flour while avoiding overworking the batter. The texture should remain slightly lumpy, which is the secret to airy waffles. Finally, fold in the melted butter gently with a spatula.
2PREHEAT THE WAFFLE IRON: Turn on your electric waffle iron and let it heat at maximum temperature for 3 to 4 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the indicator lights turn off or the iron stops smoking lightly. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.
3LIGHTLY GREASE: Quickly brush the waffle iron plates with a brush dipped in melted butter or neutral oil. Don't use too much fat, a thin coating is enough. Wipe away any excess with paper towels to prevent splattering.
4COOK THE WAFFLES: Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, staying within the demarcation lines if they exist. Close the lid gently without pressing too hard. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the waffle is golden and crispy. Don't remove it too early or it will soften as it cools. Once cooked, it should detach easily with a fork.
5SERVE IMMEDIATELY: Place the hot waffles on a rack or plate to prevent them from softening if stacked. Serve right away with your choice of toppings: honey, jam, sour cream, fresh fruit, or simple powdered sugar. Waffles are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
