Buttermilk Waffles
Description
The Buttermilk Waffles recipe begins by mixing dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—in one bowl, and wet ingredients— buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract—in another. The two mixtures are combined carefully, leaving some lumps, and the batter is allowed to rest for 10 minutes. This rest time helps the batter thicken slightly and produces fluffier waffles.
Using a heated and greased waffle iron, portions of batter are poured in and cooked until golden and crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside. The waffles’ balance of acidity from the buttermilk and leavening agents gives a light texture and subtle tang.
Serving suggestions typically include classic maple syrup and fresh berries, with optional toppings like cinnamon buttermilk syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. The recipe notes allow for preparing batter in advance by refrigerating overnight and warming to room temperature before use. Leftover waffles store well refrigerated for several days or frozen for longer periods, maintaining good quality when wrapped properly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, whisk buttermilk and butter. Add eggs and stir until combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until just combined (there were still lumps). Fold in vanilla. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the waffle iron and grease. Pour about ⅓-½ cup of batter into the waffle iron (or until the batter reaches about ½ inch to the edge of the iron). Cook until ready. Top with syrup and berries.
Notes
- Prepare the batter the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator; bring it to room temperature and stir gently before cooking.
- Top waffles with a variety of options such as maple syrup, cinnamon buttermilk syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and fresh berries.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or individually wrap them in plastic and freeze for 2-3 months.
