## Instructions

1. Whisk together melted butter and buttermilk in a large bowl.
2. Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla to the bowl and whisk until combined.

4. Add flour and stir just until combined, leaving some lumps.

## Tips

- Substitute 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt or sour cream thinned with 1/4 cup milk for the buttermilk.
- For leftovers, cook until just shy of golden brown. To serve later, heat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or use a toaster on low heat until crisp.
- Doubling the recipe is recommended if you want extra waffles.
