Recipe Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and vegetable oil.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Ladle the batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly, and cook until golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Remove the cooked waffles from the iron and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sour cream, or chopped chives. Dig in and savor the deliciousness!
