Instructions

Preheat your waffle maker so that it's nice and hot when you begin cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
Using the melted butter or a neutral oil, grease the waffle iron well. Add about one cup of batter, pouring it evenly over the middle of the iron. Once closed, the griddle will spread the batter to the edges for you.
Cook according to your waffle maker directions.

Notes

Mix until just combined without over-stirring for tender, fluffy waffles.

Don't skip letting the batter rest.

Don't overfill the waffle iron, or it will spill out the sides. About one cup is just enough.

Try pouring the batter in an "x" pattern over the center of the griddle so the waffles will be evenly spread.

Cook in the waffle iron for a minute or two longer for an extra crispy waffle.

Keep cooked waffles in the oven on the lowest heat setting to keep warm while cooking the rest.
