Preheat your waffle iron, if it's non stick then skip greasing it. If the waffles seem to stick, lightly spray with baking spray before making the FIRST waffle only.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and sugar.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla then pour in the melted butter as you whisk.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and using a whisk, whisk the batter until smooth. A few lumps may remain in the batter.
Add third of a cup of a batter to the waffle iron to make a 7 inch round waffle. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Skip Greasing the Waffle Iron if the coating of the waffle iron is non-stick. If it seems to stick, then spray with baking spray for the FIRST waffle ONLY. Too much oil will make your waffles soggy.
Watch the Cooking Time. In my Breville Waffle Iron, the waffles need about 3 minutes to cook through. Different waffle irons may have different baking times, so keep a close eye on the waffles to reach the desired browness.
Wire Rack. As you cook the waffles, keep a wire rack next to you to allow the waffles cool, if you stack them on a plate while still super hot they can become soggy from the hot steam coming out of them.
Store. I recommend eating the waffles hot! If you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight bag for up to 3 days.
To freeze, allow the waffles to cool completely then store in a freezer bag with wax paper lined between waffles to prevent them from sticking to each other. Reheat in a toaster or in a 350°F/180°C oven, lightly cover with foil to stop them from drying out and bake for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
