Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 3/4 cups milk (whole or buttermilk for extra richness)

1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon for added flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay.

          Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a brush of oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the hot waffle iron (usually about 1 cup, depending on the size of your iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (generally about 5 minutes), until golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts.
