These simple homemade waffles take just minutes to prepare, and you can cook them in just about any waffle maker.
If you want something a little fancier, this recipe is the perfect starting point. Add a handful of pecans, a few tablespoons of blueberries, or some mini chocolate chips. Or change the batter up a bit with brown sugar instead of granulated, along with a teaspoon of cinnamon. Waffles can be savory as well. Add a few tablespoons of crumbled cooked bacon and shredded cheese, or serve them with your favorite fried chicken and a drizzle of maple syrup.
If you like to make things in advance, double the batch and freeze the extra waffles. Frozen waffles are a ready-made breakfast you can pop in the toaster or reheat in the oven at any time.

Lightly coat the interior waffle grid with cooking spray if recommended by the manufacturer. Fill the preheated waffle iron with the manufacturer’s recommended amount of batter. Close the waffle iron lid and cook the waffle for the recommended amount of time (usually around 4 minutes). If desired, place cooked waffles on a rack in the preheated 200 F oven to keep warm while making subsequent batches.
