Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions to ensure it's thoroughly hot before cooking.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until fully integrated.

  4. 4

    Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until no major streaks of flour remain—do not overmix to preserve a light batter.

  5. 5

    Lightly grease the hot waffle iron with a little melted butter or oil, then add an appropriate amount of batter (based on your iron's size), spreading it to the edges.

  6. 6

    Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy at the edges. Avoid opening too early to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Remove the cooked waffle with tongs and repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished waffles warm in a low oven if desired.

Preheating the waffle iron fully and following the recommended 4-5 minute cook time allows for a crisp exterior. Timing may vary by appliance, so look for a deep golden brown color and crispy edges for best results.
