In a large mixing bowl beat together 2 eggs and 2 Tbsp sugar at high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy.

Add remaining wet ingredients in this order: oil, milk, and vanilla

Stir 4 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt into the 2 cups of flour then add dry ingredients to the bowl.

Beat on low speed just until combined. Do not over mix – the batter should have small lumps.

Preheat waffle iron (we set ours to 3). Grease waffle iron if needed (some non-stick waffle makers don’t need to be sprayed or brushed with oil).

Once the waffle iron is preheated, spray with cooking oil or brush the grates (if needed), then add enough batter to just barely fill the grooves. Leave some space for expansion. Cover and cook until the timer is done or to the desired golden-crispiness. Use plastic or silicone tongs to remove the waffle and serve warm.
