Description
Warm, fluffy homemade waffles with a tangy buttermilk base. Perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within, these easy waffles are ideal for weekday breakfasts or weekend brunch. Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit for a comforting treat.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 cups buttermilk (or 2 cups milk + 2 tablespoons lemon juice/white vinegar)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (melted and slightly cooled)
Instructions
Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature according to manufacturer instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in buttermilk and melted butter
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined—do not overmix
Pour batter onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp, 3–4 minutes per batch
Notes
For buttermilk substitute, let 2 cups milk with 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar sit for 5 minutes
Overmixing develops gluten and leads to dense waffles
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for 2 months
