Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, dry milk, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Transfer the waffle mix to a large airtight container and store it at room temperature until ready to use.
Step 3: To prepare waffles, preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
Step 4: For each cup of waffle mix, whisk together with 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a medium bowl until the batter is smooth.
Step 5: Lightly grease your waffle iron with nonstick spray or butter. Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter on the iron, depending on your waffle maker’s size, making sure not to overfill.
Step 6: Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until waffles are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter before cooking.
Substitute melted coconut oil for butter to make the recipe dairy-free.
Freeze leftover waffles in a single layer, then reheat in a toaster for quick breakfasts.

Storage

Store the dry waffle mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months. Once prepared, cook waffles fresh for best texture. Leftover cooked waffles can be frozen for up to 1 month and reheated in a toaster or oven.

How to Serve

A clear glass jar filled with white flour takes the center of the image, with a silver scoop partially buried inside. The jar has a wide opening and metal clasps on the side, with a light wooden handle of the scoop sticking out. Behind the jar, a waffle iron with a golden-brown waffle inside can be seen slightly out of focus. To the left of the jar, there are fresh red strawberries and a small white bowl of blueberries on a beige textured cloth. The background is dark and blurred, and the surface is a white marbled texture mixed with wooden elements. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
