Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Preheat the waffle iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Step 3: Cook the waffles
Pour a ladleful of batter into the waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 4: Serve
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Repeat with the remaining batter.
