Martha Stewart Waffles Recipe Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Maple syrup and butter, as desired, for serving

How To Make Martha Stewart Waffles Recipe
- Preheat waffle iron and mix dry ingredients: Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk wet ingredients and combine: In a separate small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and whisk gently to combine. Do not overmix.

- Serve: Serve waffles warm with butter and maple syrup, if desired.
