Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or brush with a little melted butter.
Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (usually about 1/2 cup, but refer to your waffle iron's instructions). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.
