Fluffy and Crisp Buttermilk Waffles
Fluffy and Crisp Buttermilk Waffles combine a lightly sweetened batter with baking powder and soda leavening for a tender inside and crisp exterior. The batter includes buttermilk and melted butter, adding richness and a mild tang. Cooking in a preheated waffle iron produces waffles with a golden crust and soft crumb.

Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled to room temperature, unsalted
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently whisk to combine. Do not overmix!
- Spray a waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray, then preheat. Once the waffle maker is ready, add the batter according to the manufacturer's instructions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the waffle maker indicates they are ready. Serve immediately, or place in a 300-degree oven to keep warm. Leftover waffles can be wrapped in plastic wrap, placed in a ziploc bag and stored in the refrigerator for 2 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Notes
- If substituting buttermilk, mix 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar with milk to make 2 cups, using 1¾ cups in the recipe.
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps help keep waffles fluffy.
- Use a high heat setting on the waffle iron for crisp edges without burning.
- Store leftovers wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat waffles using a toaster or in a 350-degree oven to regain crispness.
