Classic Buttermilk Waffles
Description
Classic Buttermilk Waffles involve mixing dry ingredients including flour, sugar, leavening agents, and salt, with a wet mixture of buttermilk, melted butter, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. The batter is combined carefully to avoid over-mixing while leaving some lumps for lightness. Cooking on a properly preheated waffle iron produces waffles with a crisp exterior and a soft, tender crumb inside.
Buttermilk adds a subtle tang that enhances the flavor and reacts with baking soda for leavening, ensuring the waffles rise well. The moderate sugar content contributes to browning and a slightly sweet taste. Waffles are best served warm and can be kept crisp by finishing in a low oven.
This recipe yields about four servings depending on waffle size, making it suitable for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings. The waffles can be paired with a variety of toppings such as syrup, fruit, or butter.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the buttermilk and the melted butter together in a large capacity measuring cup. Add in the beaten egg and vanilla extract then stir together.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Mix together until combined, the batter should still be a little bit lumpy but not too much! Try not to over mix.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions, mine is a 1/3 cup per waffle.
- Set the cooking time to whatever you desire according to your waffle maker. These are best done to a medium brown.
Crisp in the Oven
- If desired, set your oven to 250 °F. Place the waffles on a baking sheet and heat for 7-8 minutes. Remove and serve!
Notes
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully heated before cooking to achieve even browning and avoid unevenly cooked waffles.
- The batter should remain slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to maintain tender waffles.
- Yield and waffle size depend on your waffle iron’s capacity; this batter serves approximately four people.
- To keep waffles crisp after cooking, warm them in a 250°F oven on a baking sheet for 7-8 minutes before serving.
