Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

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

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or additional butter.

Pour the batter into the waffle iron, filling it about two-thirds full.

Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in an oven set to low heat.

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the iron as needed.

Serve the waffles warm with toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit, or syrup.
