Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Butter, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter.
6. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup for each waffle (adjust based on your waffle iron size).
7. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for timing.
8. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm with a dollop of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for light waffles.
• Preheating the waffle iron is crucial for crispy exteriors.
• For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity or chocolaty twist.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
• Spice it up by adding 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries or sliced bananas for a fruity touch.
• Whipped cream for a decadent treat.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory pairing.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
