Making Mini Waffles is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Mix the Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay.
5. Prepare the Waffle Maker: Lightly coat the waffle plates with non-stick spray to ensure easy release.
6. Add the Batter: Pour a small amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Remove and Cool: Carefully remove the mini waffles using a fork or tongs and place them on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy your mini waffles fresh from the waffle maker!
