Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Additional powdered sugar for serving (optional)

How to Make Fluffy Waffles with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your iron) and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the creamy vanilla sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
7. Once the waffles are done, remove them from the waffle iron and keep warm in a low oven if desired. Serve the waffles stacked and drizzle generously with the creamy sauce. Dust with additional powdered sugar if you like.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for perfectly crispy waffles.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the waffles light and fluffy.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
• Let the waffles rest for a minute or two after cooking to allow them to crisp up further.

Easy Variations

• Swap out some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a heartier version.
• Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity or sweet twist.
• Top with fresh berries, banana slices, or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.
• Drizzle with maple syrup or honey instead of the creamy sauce for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• A dollop of yogurt for added creaminess and tang.
• A side of scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
