Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F; set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and place on center rack.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, oil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to combine. Add flour and stir just until small lumps remain (do not overmix).
- Preheat and prep a waffle iron per manufacturer's instructions. Pour in a scant 1/2 cup batter per waffle (amount will vary depending on iron), leaving a slight border around edges to prevent spillover.
- Cook until waffles are golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from iron; toss back and forth between your hands to release steam and keep crisp, then transfer to rack in oven to keep warm (or see our make-ahead tip, right). Repeat with remaining batter. Serve waffles warm, with toppings.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Spelt Flour: Opt for freshly milled whole grain or organic spelt flour to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
- Activating the Yeast: To ensure successful fermentation, dissolve the yeast in warm water (110-115°F) along with a pinch of sugar. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Achieving the Right Consistency: The batter should have a thick and creamy texture, similar to pancake batter. Adjust the water or flour as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Resting the Batter: After mixing, let the batter rest in a warm place for about an hour. This allows the yeast to work its magic, resulting in lighter and fluffier waffles.
- Cooking the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Grease the iron lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot iron and cook until golden brown and crispy.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the spelt waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Indulge in the wholesome goodness of spelt flour waffles, a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional waffles. Using whole grain spelt flour not only elevates the flavor but also provides a rich source of fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. With careful attention to selecting quality ingredients, activating the yeast, achieving the right consistency, and resting the batter, you can create fluffy, golden brown waffles that are sure to impress. Experiment with different toppings and sides to create a breakfast or brunch that is both satisfying and nourishing. Embrace the versatility of spelt flour and enjoy this healthier take on a classic breakfast treat.
