Delicate Vanilla Waffles

1.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

2.In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4.Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5.Once the waffle iron is hot, lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.

6.Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.

7.Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.

8.Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
