- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Add the oil, milk, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Preheat the Waffle Maker:
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with oil or cooking spray if needed.
- Cook the Waffles:
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker, spreading it slightly. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
