Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, ensuring they are evenly mixed to help the waffles rise properly.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and peppermint extract until well blended and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Preheat and grease waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cook waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crisp on the outside, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve them warm with your choice of syrup, whipped cream, or other toppings to enjoy a festive peppermint twist.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles.
- Grease the waffle iron lightly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract based on your preference for a stronger or milder mint flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven if preparing multiple waffles.
- For a festive variation, add chocolate chips or crushed candy canes into the batter before cooking.
