Description

Golden and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these classic Buttermilk Waffles are everything a comforting breakfast should be. With a signature tang from buttermilk and versatile toppings, they’re a perfect treat for cozy mornings or celebratory brunches.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or oil, for the waffle iron


Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—some lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or oil.
  6. Ladle batter into the waffle iron (amount depends on the size of your iron), close the lid, and cook until waffles are golden and crisp.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in a 200°F oven if needed.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overmix the batter; a few lumps ensure a light texture.
  • Customize with chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon in the batter.
  • Try stacking waffles with whipped cream and berries for a showstopping presentation.
