Servings: 4

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 15

Ingredients

2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups milk whole or 2%
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the waffle maker.
Brush the surface lightly with oil, when the surface is hot
In a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Then add the oil and beat until emulsified. Add the milk and blend well.
Add the dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour about one cup of the batter onto the center of the iron. Avoid pouring too much batter because this can create spills. So, when the batter is about 1 inch within the edge, stop pouring. It will continue to move slowly towards the edge.
Close the cover of the waffle iron and let the waffle cook. On my iron this takes about 4 minutes.
Remove to a plate and serve with syrup.

Notes

I use a Belgian waffle iron but feel free to use this whatever waffle iron you have on hand. Just be sure to the directions and cook times of your waffle maker. The yield and times may vary.
