Waffles

From In Jenny's Kitchen

1 3/4 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups milk

2 large eggs

1/2 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat the milk, eggs,  melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture over the dry mixture and stir with a fork until just combined. Let sit five minutes to “develop” (just a fancy word for letting the baking powder activate).

Meanwhile, heat your waffle iron. Pour, or ladle, enough batter to cover about 2/3 of the surface (the rest will spread once you close the top). Most waffle irons have a handy light that goes on or off, signaling the waffles 

are ready. A sure sign of doneness is once you see all the steam has stopped shooting out.

Notes from Jill's Kitchen: These are actually Sam's baby. Good on you, Sam and keep the truly excellent waffles flowing. I and our future children thank you. Oh! And our one now-existing child. That's right. We have one of those now.
