Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (optional, for the waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter, if needed.
Ladle an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's instructions for quantity). Spread the batter evenly, if necessary, and close the lid.
Cook the waffle according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
