3 large eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tbs vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tbs baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Method:

In a large mixing bowl, beat whole eggs until thick. Add milk, melted butter, and the vanilla ... continue beating mixture for 2 minutes. Combine the dry ingredients, sift into egg mixture and beat well for 2 more minutes. If necessary, add more milk ... batter should be about the consistency of pancake batter.

Brush melted butter over the ridges of a hot Belgian style waffle iron. Ladle the batter over the hot iron and bake according to iron manufacture's instructions (usually about 2 minutes). When done, ridges on waffle will be deep golden brown and crispy.

Top with your favorite fresh berries or sliced fruit (strawberries, peaches, poached pears, apples with cinnamon, etc) and whipped cream. Just before serving, sprinkle waffle with powdered sugar.

Yield: 6-8 waffles depending on the size of your waffle iron.
