Family Favorite Waffles

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, slightly; stir in the milk, oil and the vanilla.
3. Add the egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir until just moistened (the batter should still be slightly lumpy).
4. Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cups batter onto the grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle iron . Close the lid quickly and do not open until done.
5. When done lift the waffles of the iron with a fork.
6. Repeat the procedure with the remaining batter.

Cook's notes: I use a GE rotating waffle iron so I only have to use about 1/2 cup of waffle batter. I also use cooking spray to grease my waffle iron. This stays good in the refrigerator for several days so you can satisfy your inner waffle obsession for several days. I also double this recipe, which is below:

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup cooking oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

Follow directions as written above, using a 4 quart mixing bowl.
