Quick and Easy Waffles

A long time ago I had an Oster waffle iron that made Alphabet Block shaped waffles, perfect for little kids.  It broke and I couldn't find a replacement for it.  Here is the recipe from the little instruction manual from that old appliance.

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, or blueberries, optional

Instructions:
  • Combine all ingredients with a whisk in a large bowl.  
  • Preheat waffle iron according to directions.  
  • Fill iron (don't overfill) and cook waffle according to your waffle iron directions, or until the steam stops coming out.  It should be about 5 minutes.  
  • Remove and serve warm, with syrup if desired.
