# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving some lumps intact to avoid overmixing.
05 - Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron and pour approximately ½ cup of batter per waffle. Cook each waffle until golden and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes per batch.
06 - Remove the cooked waffles from the iron and cut each round into quarters.
07 - Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the maple syrup and warm the mixture for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
08 - Arrange the waffle quarters on a platter with the syrup dip bowl in the center. Serve with optional fresh berries, whipped cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
