Lemon Drizzle Waffles

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1¾ cups milk
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the drizzle:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle grid and cook until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Make the Lemon Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth. It should be pourable but slightly thick.
  7. Serve: Drizzle the warm waffles generously with the lemon glaze. Serve immediately with extra zest or fresh berries if desired.

Tip: For extra zing, top with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt!
