Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your waffle maker and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Divide the batter evenly into several small bowls.
Step 6: Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl to create different pastel-colored batters.
Step 7: Spoon the colored batters into the waffle maker in stripes or sections to create a layered rainbow effect.
Step 8: Close the waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden and cooked through.
Step 9: Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 10: Serve warm with whipped cream, syrup, berries, or your favorite toppings.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze waffles in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F until warm and crisp.
Avoid microwaving for too long, as the waffles may become soft instead of crispy.
