Step 1:

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3:

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix (some lumps are fine).

Step 5:

Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour batter onto the hot iron (about ½ cup for each waffle, depending on your iron). Cook until golden and crisp, about 4–5 minutes per batch.

Step 6:

Remove waffles and cut each round into quarters.

Step 7:

For the syrup dip, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup and heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Pour into a small serving bowl.

Step 8:

Arrange waffle quarters on a platter with the syrup dip bowl in the center. Serve with optional berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
