Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
Allow the batter to sit for 2-3 minutes for better texture.
Lightly coat with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the waffle carefully and serve warm with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!

Always fully preheat your waffle iron. This is how you get crispy, golden waffles!
Don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are totally fine. Overmixing will make your waffles tough.
Avoid stacking hot waffles. They'll steam and get soggy.
Keep them warm. If cooking in batches, keep waffles warm in a 200ºF oven until ready to serve.
