This copycat Waffle House waffle recipe brings the classic diner breakfast to your home kitchen. Using staple pantry ingredients and a standard waffle iron, you can prepare and cook a batch of homemade waffles in under ten minutes.
## Batter and Cooking Cues
The batter comes together by separating the dry and wet ingredients into two mixing bowls before combining. Whisk the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together, then whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and optional vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
When pouring the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisk only until just combined. The batter should retain a few small lumps rather than being completely smooth.
For each waffle, ladle roughly 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter across the preheated iron, spreading it evenly to the edges. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and the center is cooked through, then serve immediately or pair with Cinnamon Sugar Butter.
