Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 ¾ cups milk (whole or buttermilk)

½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures the waffles cook evenly and become fluffy.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed and the mixture is slightly frothy.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. This helps keep the waffles fluffy!

          Oil the Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour the recommended amount of batter (usually about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on your waffle iron) onto the preheated waffle iron. Close it and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp, usually around 4-5 minutes.

              Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles hot with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
