Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay—do not overmix!
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the hot waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size of your iron).
  6. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually 4-5 minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the waffle and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Keep your waffle iron hot for perfectly crisp waffles.
  • Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.

Easy Variations

  • Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity twist.
  • Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
  • Try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier waffle.
  • For a savory option, mix in shredded cheese and chopped herbs.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas for a fruity touch.
  • Whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
  • A dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.

Storage and Reheating

These waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven until heated through and crisp.
