Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and sugar.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, melted butter, cracked egg, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined. Set the batter aside to rest; for best results, you can cover and refrigerate it overnight if making waffles the next morning.
  3. Preheat Waffle Stick Maker: Turn on your waffle stick maker and allow it to preheat fully according to your device’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
  4. Prepare Batter for Cooking: Measure approximately ¼ cup of batter per waffle stick, or use the amount recommended by your waffle stick maker. Optionally, stir in any additional mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit before cooking.
  5. Cook Waffle Sticks: Grease the waffle stick maker with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the maker, spreading it evenly. Insert lollipop sticks into the batter if making pops. Close the lid.
  6. Cooking Time: Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle sticks stop steaming and are fully cooked through, with a golden crust on the outside.
  7. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the cooked waffle sticks and place them on a cooling rack to avoid sogginess. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • The batter can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight for convenient morning cooking.
  • You can add mix-ins such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts for variety.
  • Use lollipop sticks for fun waffle pops, making it a kid-friendly snack.
  • Ensure your waffle stick maker is well-greased to prevent sticking.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your waffle stick maker’s heat output.
