To make classic, crispy homemade waffles, begin by whisking together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. In a separate medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs and then mix in 1 3/4 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of melted butter (or vegetable oil), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix, as a few small lumps are acceptable. Allow the batter to rest for 10–15 minutes while preheating your waffle iron to a high setting. Once hot, lightly grease the iron if necessary, pour in the appropriate amount of batter (usually about 1/2 cup), and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the iron stops steaming and the waffles are deep golden brown. For maximum crispness, place the cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them on a plate, then serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
