Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron:
   • Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
   • Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly combined.
4. Mix Batter:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be smooth and thick but pourable.
5. Cook Waffles:
   • Pour enough batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron to cover the grids. Use a ladle or measuring cup to spread the batter evenly.
   • Close the waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer’s instructions, typically 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron using tongs or a fork.
   • Serve immediately while warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips for Perfect Waffles:

• Consistency: Adjust the batter consistency with a little more milk or flour if needed. It should flow easily but not be too runny.
• Variations: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon to the batter for different flavors. Experiment with savory toppings like fried chicken and gravy for a unique twist.
• Storage: Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
