Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed nonstick spray or oil (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine. Avoid overmixing, as it could result in tough waffles.
Lightly grease your waffle iron with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil.
Ladle the batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron, using enough to cover most of the surface (check your waffle iron’s instructions for recommended batter amounts).
Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically 4-6 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
Carefully remove the waffle and keep it warm in a low oven, or serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
