Make waffles

 * 2) Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
 * 3) Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl, then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.
 * 4) Brush hot waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil and pour a slightly rounded 1/2 cup of batter into each waffle mold (see cooks' note, below). #Cook waffles according to manufacturer's instructions until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer as cooked to rack in oven to keep warm, keeping waffles in 1 layer to stay crisp. Make more waffles in same manner.
