Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no large clumps remain.
  2. In a second bowl, whisk the buttermilk and melted butter until combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time to the buttermilk mixture, whisking vigorously until smooth.
  4. Stir the vanilla extract into the wet mixture.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  6. Stir with a whisk until just combined; stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear to avoid over-mixing.
  7. Preheat the waffle iron until the indicator light signals it is ready.
  8. Grease the iron lightly with cooking spray if necessary.
  9. Pour the batter into the center of the iron, spreading it slightly with a spoon.
  10. Cook until steam stops escaping from the sides of the iron.
  11. Transfer the finished waffles to a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
