Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (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 bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron based on its size (approximately 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on the waffle iron). Spread the batter slightly if needed.
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles immediately, topped with your choice of fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
