Description

Golden, fluffy buttermilk waffles stacked high, drizzled with maple syrup and crowned with a pat of butter—an irresistible breakfast favorite ready for fruit, cream, or anything sweet.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix—batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Lightly grease waffle iron with butter or spray. Pour batter into the center and spread slightly. Close lid and cook until golden brown.
  6. Stack hot waffles, top with a pat of butter, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Serve with fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter—small lumps are okay and help keep the waffles fluffy.
  • Waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster for quick breakfasts.
  • Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
