Directions:
Before making waffles, be sure to preheat the waffle maker and mix the dry and wet ingredients separately for perfect waffles!
Preheat your waffle maker following the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until the dough is smooth. Don't overmix; some small flour balls are normal.
Grease the waffle maker with a little oil or non-stick spray.
Pour enough batter into the hot waffle maker to cover the racks, following the manufacturer's recommendations for the proper amount.
Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles until golden and crisp. This usually takes about 4-5 minutes, but the time can vary depending on the waffle iron you use.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle iron with a plastic or silicone fork to avoid scratching the nonstick surfaces.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter, whipped cream, or even ice cream if you're craving something sweet.
Enjoy your delicious homemade waffles! You can customize this recipe by adding ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon for a special touch.
