Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to get your waffle iron ready for cooking, ensuring it reaches the proper temperature for crispy waffles.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined evenly.
Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine well.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps in the batter are normal and help keep waffles tender.
Grease the waffle iron: Lightly spray or oil the waffle iron surface to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the waffles after cooking.
Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the center of the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. The exact time will depend on your waffle maker’s settings.
Serve warm: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

For a heartier waffle, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
To achieve extra fluffy waffles, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
