Whether you're serving a crowd or just indulging yourself, these waffles are a breakfast hero that’s sure to keep everyone coming back for more.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour enough batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron to cover about 2/3 of the surface (amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron's instructions, usually 4-5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
