Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should still have some small lumps.
Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of melted butter to prevent sticking.
Pour the recommended amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker, based on your waffle maker's size (usually 1/2 to 3/4 cup for standard waffle makers).
Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Cooking times will vary depending on your waffle maker, usually 4-6 minutes per waffle.
Carefully remove the waffle using tongs or a spatula and place it on a wire rack to prevent it from getting soggy.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle maker as needed between batches.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. Enjoy!
