  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 4 large eggs, 2 cups milk (or buttermilk for extra tang), 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Lightly spray your preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron.
