Ingredients
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
8 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Add the whole egg, egg yolk, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until all ingredients are just combined; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each waffle cavity. Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles to a wire rack. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth and well blended.
Once the waffles have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over each waffle or dip them directly into the glaze to coat evenly.
Set the glazed waffles on a clean surface and allow the glaze to set completely before serving. These waffles are best enjoyed the day they are made.
Comments
All ingredients are standard pantry staples available at every major Charlotte chain, and none requires a special trip. The cost per serving is genuinely cheap—less than 50 cents per waffle given the yield and bulk ingredients like eggs and butter at Harris Teeter or ALDI. The stated 30 minutes is realistic for mixing batter and cooking in a waffle iron, though the recipe yields 20 waffles, which means real timing depends on how many irons you own. These reheat well in a toaster, making them a strong choice for weeknight prep or quick breakfasts, and the doughnut-and-glaze format appeals to families with kids.
