THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES



The Best Buttermilk Waffles image

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.

Time 40m

Yield about 6 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup, jam, berries or yogurt, for serving

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.

LIGHT AND CRISPY WAFFLES



Light and Crispy Waffles image

These light and crispy waffles come together quickly. Cornstarch is the secret to crispy waffles. It guarantees that your waffles will be perfectly crisp and tender. This recipe makes four standard waffles (1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick). If you want to make thicker Belgian waffles or use a deep waffle iron, you will get closer to three waffles using our recipe below. Separating the egg is optional but is recommended. We do not do this in the video; however, after years of feedback from readers, we have determined that whipping the egg white thickens the batter slightly and improves the results for deeper waffle irons.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield Makes 4 standard waffles or 2 to 3 thick waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30 grams) cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup (235 ml) buttermilk or milk
1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
Butter, syrup and/or berries, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • For the lightest waffles, separate the egg. Whisk the egg yolk into the milk mixture. If you do not plan on separating the egg, whisk the whole egg into the milk mixture.
  • If you separate the egg, add the egg white to another bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat until stiff, and then set aside.
  • Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients until only small lumps are left. Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
  • Set the batter aside for five to ten minutes while preparing the waffle iron.
  • Heat the waffle iron to the highest heat setting.
  • Cook waffles until golden and crisp, adding enough batter to the waffle iron to fill the entire lower grid. If the waffles look too dark, turn the heat down slightly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately or keep them warm and crispy on a rack in a 200°F oven until ready to serve. Stacking them outside the oven will cause them to steam and become floppy.

WAFFLES



Waffles image

It's time to put that waffle iron languishing in the back of your cabinet to good use. These airy, delicate and crisp-edged waffles are so fabulous, yet so simple to throw together, they're destined to become part of your weekend breakfast routine. Freeze leftovers, if you have any, in Ziplock bags and serve them during the week. You can pop them in the toaster to reheat (use a light setting) and they come out nearly as well as freshly made, maybe even slightly crunchier. For a lighter, fluffier waffle, separate the eggs and proceed with step 2 using the egg yolks. Beat the whites until stiff, then fold into the batter. For whole-grain waffles, use 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour. You can also substitute brown sugar for the granulated.
