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
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
