This is the recipe I grew up with. My grandfather made it, my mom made it. I believe it originates in one of the classic recipe books like Betty Crocker or Red Book.
Preheat waffle iron.
-
1¼ cups flour
-
2 tsp. baking powder
-
¼ tsp. salt

1 tbsp sugar
-
1 egg

1+ cup milk

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and stir. Combine eggs, milk and oil in a separate bowl and blend thoroughly with a whisk.
Next add the liquid to the dry ingredients and beat just until moist. Batter should still be lumpy.
