Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Stacked Waffles with Vanilla Ice Cream
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or additional melted butter.
- 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.
- Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
- 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.
