In a separate bowl, mix melted butter (make sure it’s cooled) with the egg. Whisk until you have a creamy mixture.
Now, combine the dry and wet ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl, and whisk until the batter is smooth and velvety. The aroma of the melted butter will make your heart flutter!
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Spread it gently, and cook until it reaches your desired golden color. The anticipation of watching those waffles turn toasty brown is half the fun!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Just add the wet ingredients when you’re ready!
