Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.75 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron to your desired setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 6

Scoop the batter into the waffle iron using a ladle or measuring cup (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter per waffle, depending on your waffle iron size). Spread the batter if needed to cover the waffle iron's surface.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the cooked waffle and transfer it to a wire rack or serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron with nonstick spray as needed.

Step 9

Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
