Equipment
- Waffle Maker
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch for extra crispiness
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.
- Pour about ½ to ¾ cup of batter into the waffle maker and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven if needed.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra crispy waffles, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking. To store, freeze in a single layer, then reheat in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
