Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 whole eggs
- 1.25 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- ¾ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your waffle iron on medium-high heat until the indicator light stops blinking or you hear a beep, about 5 minutes — this means it has reached temperature.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 2 eggs, and 1.25 cups milk, stirring in one continuous circular motion until no lumps of flour remain and the batter looks smooth.
- 3
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling the pan for 30 seconds until the butter foams, then pour it into the batter and stir once to combine.
- 4
Lightly brush the waffle iron grid with a small amount of oil so the waffles won't stick, then pour 0.5 cup batter into the center of the iron.
- 5
Close the lid and cook until the waffle is deep golden brown and no longer releases steam, about 3–4 minutes — do not open during this time.
- 6
Slide the finished waffle onto a plate using a fork; repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining batter to make 4 waffles total.
- 7
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, swirling for 30 seconds until foamy.
- 8
Add 0.75 cup chopped pecans and 0.5 cup brown sugar to the butter, then stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes until the brown sugar dissolves completely.
- 9
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the warm praline sauce over each waffle in a thin stream, letting it pool slightly on the surface.
