Steps

Preheat your waffle iron.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended.
Lightly grease the waffle iron and pour batter evenly to cover the surface.
Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Remove waffles carefully and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Tips for Classic Belgian Waffles

A properly cooked waffle should release cleanly and feel crisp at the edges; pale, soft patches usually need a little more time.
Avoid overmixing the batter: a few small lumps are fine, while vigorous mixing can make the waffles less tender.
For a batch, keep finished waffles in a single layer so trapped steam does not soften their crisp surfaces.

Drink pairing

A lightly sweet sparkling wine
Its gentle bubbles and hint of sweetness pair nicely with crisp, buttery waffles and fruit or maple toppings.

0% option: A cup of black tea

Storage

Refrigerate leftover waffles within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; a toaster can help restore crispness.
