- 1/2 tsp salt
- Wet ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional

Instructions
- Preheat a heart-shaped waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it if needed.

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

- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
