Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.75 cups Buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 to coat waffle iron Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes while the waffle iron finishes heating up. This step helps ensure a crispier texture.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter (based on your waffle iron's size) onto the center of the iron and close the lid. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions, generally 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a wire rack to prevent steaming and maintain crispness. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
