Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a waffle maker according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined.
  3. Add 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted butter to the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined and there are no more lumps.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of the batter to the preheated waffle maker for a Belgian-style waffle, or add 1/3 cup of the batter for an American-style waffle. The amount of batter will vary depending on the size and style of your waffle maker.
  5. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, following the manufacturer’s timing guide or approximately 4 to 5 minutes per waffle.
  6. Serve hot, topped with warm syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream, as desired.

Notes

  • Makes about 2 cups of batter which is enough for 4 Belgian or 6 American-style waffles. Actual yield may vary by waffle maker.
  • For make-ahead mornings, store uncooked batter in the fridge up to 5 days in an airtight container. Stir before using. Any discoloration will disappear when mixed.
  • Freeze cooked waffles in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster until crisp.
