Yield Makes about 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

Steps:

  • Place butter on a plate and freeze until very firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a food processor until combined. Add frozen butter and pulse until mixture resembles sand and no visible clumps of butter remain, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
  • Do Ahead: Mix can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Pancakes
  • To make a batch of 4 pancakes, whisk 1 cup mix, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup milk or 3/4 cup buttermilk in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Heat a griddle or large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium; brush with butter. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto griddle. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and pop and the underside is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned on the other side, 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing griddle with butter as needed.
  • Waffles
  • To make a batch of 4 small or 2 large waffles, separate 2 large eggs. Whisk egg yolks, 2 cups mix, and 1/2 cup milk or 3/4 cup buttermilk in a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter.
  • Heat a waffle iron until very hot; brush with butter. Working in batches and brushing iron with more butter as needed, pour batter onto iron (it should cover the entire surface; the amount of batter will vary according to manufacturer). Cook waffles until golden brown and cooked through, 3-7 minutes, depending on waffle iron.
  • Crepes
  • To make a batch of 4 crepes, whisk 2 eggs, 1 cup mix, and 1 cup milk in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high, then brush with butter. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on the surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath crepe to loosen and carefully turn. Cook until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes.

  • Mix remaining ingredients and fold in whites.
  • Spoon into hot waffle maker.
  • Note-- batter may seem watery, but the waffles turn out wonderful!
  • Batter will thicken as it sits.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and richness to waffles. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes will allow the gluten to relax and make the waffles more tender.
  • Use a hot waffle iron: A hot waffle iron will help the waffles cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the waffle iron: Overcrowding the waffle iron will prevent the waffles from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best served hot and fresh. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make delicious and fluffy waffles every time. Waffles are a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be topped with a variety of sweet or savory toppings, making them a perfect option for any occasion.
