Are you guilty of having a waffle maker that sits on a forgotten shelf? Show it a little love, and show yourself some too. These easy waffles come together before you know it, and all sorts of toppings are fair game.

ingredients

1 3/4 cup sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs
7 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup milk

directions

Sift the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together into a bowl.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and milk until uniform in color. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.

Heat and grease the waffle iron as directed by manufacturer.

Add about 1/4 cup of the batter to the waffle iron (or amount needed depending on the size of the waffle grids). Cook until browned. Remove the waffle and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings. The cooked waffles can also be frozen and then reheated in a toaster.

This is a great recipe that doesn't require you to beat egg whites or rely on buttermilk. We used whole wheat flour. Really good!

This is a great base to waffles. I sometimes add chocolate chips or cinnimmon or pecans to the recipe, but I always start with this recipe.

I am NOT a cook, and I was able to prepare this recipe for my boys and I. Waffles were a bit tough compared to my wife's, but her buttermilk recipe is much more involved. Tough is better than soggy, and I would use this recipe again. Serves 3, not 6, if serving men. Thank you for the recipe!!
