How to Make Classic Buttermilk-Style Waffles

1. Preheat Waffle Iron

Preheat your waffle iron. This step is crucial as a hot waffle iron ensures your waffles will cook evenly and develop that perfect crisp exterior.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the eggs, and whisk until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

5. Cook Waffles

Lightly grease your preheated waffle iron with a bit of melted butter or non-stick spray. Pour enough batter onto the center of the waffle iron to cover about two-thirds of the surface, then close the lid. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and easily release from the iron.

6. Serve Waffles

Remove the waffles and serve immediately, while they're still warm and crisp. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings.

Savory Sensation

Sweet Mix-Ins

Fold in chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts into the batter just before cooking for added sweetness and texture. Swirl in a dollop of fruit jam, honey, or maple syrup for a flavored surprise in each bite.
