Serves: 4 servings
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 melted butter
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Make sure you have 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 large eggs, 1 3/4 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon ready for use.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended and there are no lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and whisk them until they are frothy. Then, add 1 3/4 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of melted butter to the eggs. Mix these wet ingredients together until they are fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires it, lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is heated, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, making sure not to overfill. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's instructions, typically for about 4-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.
- Serve the loaded waffles warm, drizzled generously with maple syrup. You can also add additional crumbled bacon on top for extra flavor, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious Loaded Waffle Batter Maple Bacon waffles with family and friends!
Tips
- • Always use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter mixing • Do not overmix the batter - lumps are okay and help create fluffy waffles • Preheat your waffle iron completely before adding batter • Use a ladle or measuring cup to ensure consistent waffle size • Let cooked waffles rest on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes to maintain crispiness • For extra crispy bacon, cook it until it's very well-done before adding to the batter • If you have leftover waffles, freeze them between parchment paper for quick reheating • Experiment with different bacon types like applewood or pepper bacon for unique flavor profiles
