Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Do not overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter (or the amount recommended for your waffle iron) onto the center of the preheated waffle iron.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, or until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, typically 3-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to keep crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
