Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Neutral oil or nonstick spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with neutral oil or nonstick spray.
Pour the recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron onto the hot waffle plates (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron).
Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. This typically takes 4-5 minutes but may vary based on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a wire rack to maintain crispiness while you prepare the remaining waffles.
Repeat with the rest of the 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 powdered sugar.
