Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 ¾ cups buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice added)

½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will ensure your waffles cook evenly and achieve that ideal crispiness.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This is the base for your fluffy waffles.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are perfectly fine — they help keep your waffles light and airy.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (check your iron's instructions for the correct amount). Close the lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown.

            Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately, or keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F/93°C) while you cook the remaining batter.

              Add Toppings: Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.
