THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
In creating this recipe, we tried out many different methods-folding in egg whites, milk versus buttermilk, a yeasted batter. But at the end of the day, this simple dump-and-stir was our favorite by far. Someone in the test kitchen may have even said this was the best waffle they'd ever eaten! The buttermilk makes this waffle ultra-light while the generous amount of butter makes for a super crispy exterior, leaving the inside custardy and soft. Finally, we kept the sugar to a minimum, making these the perfect foil for sweet toppings like maple syrup, berries or jam.

Steps:
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
- Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.
TENDER AND EASY BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
An easy waffle recipe that results in a nice crisp outside, and tender middle waffle. I love the results this gives while not having to separate the eggs and take time to whip egg whites! These will also reheat in the toaster for a quick work day breakfast.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat waffle iron. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together yolks, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla; stir into flour mixture.
- Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until peaks are stiff but not dry. Fold into batter.
- Coat waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour in batter, spreading almost to edges. Close lid; cook until waffles are golden, 3 to 5 minutes (or as indicated on waffle iron). Transfer to a baking sheet; keep warm in oven while cooking remaining batches. Serve warm, with Spicy Maple Butter and syrup.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Buttermilk: Opt for fresh, high-quality buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Mixing the Batter: For light and fluffy waffles, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough waffles. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no large lumps.
- Waffle Iron Temperature: Preheat your waffle iron to the desired temperature according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures even cooking and golden waffles.
- Pouring the Batter: Pour enough batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the surface evenly. Do not overcrowd the waffle iron as this can result in undercooked waffles.
- Cooking Time: Follow the recommended cooking time in the recipe or adjust according to your waffle iron. Check the waffles regularly to prevent overcooking or burning.
- Serving Suggestions: Buttermilk waffles are delicious served with a variety of toppings such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or crispy bacon. You can also add mix-ins to the batter for variations like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk waffles are a classic breakfast treat that combines the tanginess of buttermilk with a fluffy, crispy texture. By following the tips and instructions provided in the article, you can create perfect buttermilk waffles at home. Experiment with different toppings and mix-ins to customize your waffles and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
