Scale

Dry Ingredients for Waffle Mix

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 teaspoons salt

Waffle Preparation

1 cup of waffle mix
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon melted butter
Nonstick spray or butter for greasing waffle iron

Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 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, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt until evenly blended.
Store the Mix: Transfer the waffle mix into a large airtight container and store it at room temperature until ready to use, ensuring freshness and convenience.
Prepare Waffle Batter: When ready to make waffles, preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the waffle mix with 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon melted butter until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Note that 1 cup of mix yields approximately 3-4 waffles.
Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking and promote browning.
Cook Waffles: Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter onto the preheated waffle iron, adjusting the amount based on your waffle iron’s size. Avoid overfilling to prevent batter overflow. Cook the waffles for about 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast treat.

Notes

You can prepare the waffle mix in bulk and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Adjust the water slightly if you prefer thicker or thinner waffle batter consistency.
For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter with melted coconut oil or vegetable oil.
Make sure the waffle iron is properly preheated before pouring the batter to ensure crispy waffles.
Leftover waffles can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for quick meals.
