Equipment
- Waffle Iron
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour can substitute gluten-free blend
- 2 tablespoons sugar for subtle sweetness
- 1 tablespoon baking powder leavening agent
- 2 eggs for binding and tender interior
- 1 ¾ cups milk dairy or almond milk
- 4 tablespoons butter melted, for richness and crispness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds warmth and depth
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and equipment so you're ready to go, setting a cozy vibe for your ghostly creation.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined, creating a light, fluffy base.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy—this fills the air with a subtle aroma.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, then gently fold everything together just until combined—lumps are okay and help keep the waffles airy.
- Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting until it’s hot and ready, with a faint sizzle when tested.
- Lightly grease the waffle plates with a bit of melted butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and add a slight crispness.
- Pour about half a cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly to cover the grid, creating a ghostly white canvas.
- Close the lid firmly and cook for 4-5 minutes, until steam slows down and the waffle turns a beautiful golden brown with a slightly crisp exterior.
- Carefully open the waffle iron, then lift the waffle with a spatula, revealing a delicate, airy, and golden ghostly shape.
- Place the finished waffle on a cooling rack or plate, and repeat with remaining batter, ensuring each waffle retains its airy, crisp texture.
- Serve your ghost waffles immediately with your favorite toppings—whether sweet syrup, fruit, or a spooky sprinkle of powdered sugar—to complete the hauntingly delightful experience.
