Preheat the Waffle Iron:

Prepare the Waffle Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

- Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of fluffy waffles and caramelized peaches.
