Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 ¾ cups milk (room temperature)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- Nutella, as needed (about 1-2 tablespoons per waffle)
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring until just blended to form a smooth waffle batter. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles tender.
- Heat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron until it’s hot to ensure crispy edges. Lightly grease the plates with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Batter and Nutella: Pour a ladle of batter into the center of the waffle iron. Spoon a generous dollop of Nutella in the middle, then cover with a bit more batter to seal the filling inside, ensuring it doesn’t overflow.
- Cook and Serve: Close the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove the waffle and let it cool slightly before serving, so the Nutella filling remains delightfully gooey.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and milk to help the batter mix more evenly and produce fluffier waffles.
- Make sure the waffle iron is fully preheated to achieve perfectly crisp edges.
- Use moderate amounts of Nutella to avoid leaks while ensuring a luscious center.
- Gently fold the batter with a silicone spatula to keep waffles tender.
- Serve waffles immediately for the best gooey Nutella experience.
