BELLA'S WHOLE WHEAT BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
• Add milk, eggs and oil to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Use approximately 1/3 cup of batter per waffle.

• Note: My original posting of this recipe did not include salt. I didn't really miss having salt in this recipe, but I thought the first reviewer of this recipe probably had a point about blandness, so I amended the recipe to include 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Other comments have prompted me to add vanilla to the recipe, with wonderful results. Thanks for your comments!
