Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose or plain flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
US - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a few seconds to make sure everything is well distributed before moving on.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry mix and pour in the milk, melted butter (cooled slightly), vanilla extract, and egg. Begin whisking from the center outwards to incorporate the wet and dry gradually.
  • Continue whisking just until no dry flour remains. The batter should be thick and creamy, with a few small lumps. Overmixing can make the Paffles dense, so stop once it’s mostly smooth.
  • Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes. This gives the leavening agents time to activate and helps the batter relax for extra fluffiness.
  • Preheat your waffle maker according to its instructions. Lightly grease with butter or nonstick spray. Pour in enough batter to cover the waffle plates (usually about ¼ to ⅓ cup depending on your machine), close the lid, and cook until golden brown and crisp.
  • Lift the Paffle out carefully using silicone tongs or a fork. Serve hot with maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream—or go all out with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate drizzle.

Notes

The Secret Shop: Paffle Edition.
 
  • Use a measuring cup or ladle (¼ to ⅓ cup) to portion the batter evenly—your waffle iron will love you for it.
  • Resting the batter for 5–10 minutes makes a huge difference in texture—trust us.
  • Your first Paffle is a test run. Every waffle maker has its own personality, so don’t panic if the first one’s not perfect.
  • Let them cool completely before freezing. Then reheat in the toaster or low oven for a crispy comeback.
  • Want extra flair? Fold in mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or a dash of cinnamon before cooking.
