Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- N/A Non-stick cooking spray or additional melted butter (for greasing 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, beat the eggs, then whisk in the sour cream, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to dense waffles; a few small lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.
Scoop the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter needed will depend on the size and shape of your waffle iron; typically, ½ to ¾ cup of batter works for standard-sized waffles.
Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
