There’s something about homemade waffles that makes mornings feel extra special. Maybe it’s the smell of buttery goodness filling the kitchen, or maybe it’s the fact that my toddler devours them faster than I can make them. Either way, these waffles have become a go-to in our home.

They’re simple, fluffy, and just sweet enough—perfect for busy mornings, lazy weekends, or anytime you need a guaranteed "Mom, can I have more?" moment.

Ingredients: (Makes 4-6 waffles, depending on size)

80 g butter (about 5 ½ tbsp)
60 g sugar (about ¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
1 packet of vanilla sugar (about 2 tsp)
3 eggs
375 ml milk (1 ½ cups)
300 g flour (about 2 ½ cups)
½ sachet of baking powder (approx. 1 tsp or 6 g)
A dash of vanilla paste & rum flavoring (optional, but next-level delicious!)

Instructions:

Cream the butter, sugar & eggs – Let the butter soften at room temperature (or give it a quick melt if you forgot). Using an electric mixer, beat it together with sugar, vanilla sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy.

Add the dry & wet ingredients alternately – Slowly mix in the flour (combined with baking powder) and milk, alternating between the two. Blend well after each addition until you get a medium-thick batter—pourable but not too runny.

Heat up the waffle maker – If you’re like me and scored a waffle maker for €5 on clearance (bargain of the year!), this is your moment to shine. Lightly grease it if needed and pour in the batter.

Cook until golden brown & crispy – Depending on your waffle maker, this takes around 3-5 minutes per batch.

Serve & enjoy! – Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, or just a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Whatever makes your little ones happiest!
