Make the Waffle Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
