Preheat waffle iron.
STEP 2:
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine.

STEP 4:
In a separate small bowl whisk the eggs and stir in the warm milk, melted butter and vanilla extract.

— Tips for Making Perfect Waffles:
- Use room temperature ingredients, as this will help the batter come together more easily and result in lighter, fluffier waffles.
- Don’t overmix the batter, as this can make the waffles tough and chewy. Mix until just combined, leaving some lumps in the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron thoroughly before cooking the waffles. This will ensure that the waffles cook evenly and have a crispy exterior.
- If you’re making a large batch of waffles, keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) until ready to serve. This will help them stay crisp and prevent them from getting soggy.
- Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, there’s a waffle topping out there for everyone.
