Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

2 cups buttermilk (or milk + 2 tablespoons vinegar)

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for extra flavor

Optional toppings: Fresh fruits, syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures crisp waffles that are perfectly cooked.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined for uniform flavor.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Then add the buttermilk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. This step is crucial for fluffy texture!

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush it with a little oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your waffle iron size) onto the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.

            Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles using a fork or spatula and serve immediately. Top with your choices of fresh fruits, syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate chips for a delicious treat!

              Store Leftovers: If you have any leftover waffles, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or oven until warm and crispy.
