Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk, shaken
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

For Cooking and Serving

  • Cooking spray
  • Softened butter, for serving
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Sliced fresh fruit, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until fully combined to create your dry mix.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth. Gently fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix as some lumps are fine for tender waffles.
  3. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron: Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center of the iron, ensuring the surface is fully covered.
  4. Cook Waffles: Close the waffle iron and cook the batter until the waffle turns golden brown and crisp, which should take about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  5. Serve: Serve the waffles hot, topped generously with softened butter, maple syrup, and your choice of sliced fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; leaving some lumps ensures fluffy waffles.
  • Preheating the waffle iron is crucial for crispy texture.
  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and fluffiness.
  • Serve waffles immediately for best texture; if necessary, keep warm in a low oven.
  • You can add vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter for additional flavor.
