Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Once the iron is hot, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using tongs or a fork, and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the waffles immediately while warm, with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or whipped cream.
Tips
- For extra crispy waffles, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Experiment with adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for an aromatic twist.
- For a fun variation, try adding chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before cooking.
