Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons 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
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

How to Make Stacked Waffles with Vanilla Ice Cream

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
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. Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or additional melted butter.
6. Pour the recommended amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron, close it, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. This typically takes about 4-5 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Once all the waffles are cooked, stack them on a plate, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• Use a hot waffle iron for the best crispiness; test it with a small amount of batter first.
• Experiment with different toppings like fresh fruits, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for added flavor.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Chip Waffles: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
• Fruit-Infused Waffles: Add mashed bananas or pureed strawberries to the batter for a fruity twist.
• Nutty Waffles: Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a burst of flavor.
• A side of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
