Buttermilk Waffles
These buttermilk waffles are fluffy with the best crispy edges! This classic breakfast recipe makes mornings extra special when topped with fresh berries and maple syrup.
Equipment
- waffle maker
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 6 Tablespoons butter , melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings: Berries, maple syrup, jam, buttermilk syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 3 Tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the 2 eggs and 2 cups buttermilk. Then slowly whisk in the 6 Tablespoons melted butter and add 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and then pour the milk mixture into the flour. Stir until combined (don't overmix). Let rest for 5 minutes while the waffle iron heats.
- Preheat your waffle iron on medium-heat, then spray with non-stick spray. Add about 1/2 cup of the batter to the grid and cook until the waffle iron goes off, about 3 minutes. Adjust settings on your waffle maker to get the waffles as crispy as you like.
- Serve while warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
To keep warm: Place on a baking sheet in the oven at 175°F to keep warm.
To store: Store leftovers in a zip top bag and place in fridge for 2-3 days.
Freezing: Let cool, then place in a freezer bag. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat: I love to reheat homemade waffles in the toaster. This helps retain their crisp edges without turning soggy in the middle like a microwave is prone to do (although in a pinch it works!). You could also reheat them in the oven at 250°F for a few minutes.
