Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup flour (, plain / all purpose)
• 2 1/2 tbsp caster sugar / superfine sugar ((sub granulated / ordinary sugar))
• Pinch cooking / kosher salt
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/3 cup milk (, full fat, slightly warmed (not piping hot))
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 4 large eggs
• 11 tbsp unsalted butter (, melted and slightly cooled (not piping hot))
• Butter (, softened (strongly recommended!))
• Maple syrup ((strongly recommended!), or honey)
• Icing sugar / powdered sugar (, for dusting)
• Strawberries, other fruit

Method

1. Whisk the flour, caster sugar, baking powder and pinch of salt together in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the warmed milk, eggs and vanilla essence, whisk to combine, then pour in the melted butter and whisk again until the batter is lump-free, pourable and thick.
3. Cover the batter and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 2 hours, for softer centres and better flavour.
4. Preheat the waffle maker, ladle in just enough batter to cover the iron, and close the lid without overfilling.
5. Cook each waffle until deep golden and crisp, about 3.5 to 6 minutes depending on the iron, and keep finished waffles warm on a rack in a 158°F oven if you are working through the batch.
6. Serve the waffles with softened butter, maple syrup or honey, a dusting of icing sugar and strawberries or other fruit.
