Waffles are a breakfast staple for a reason! This easy buttermilk waffle recipe makes waffles that are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The buttermilk makes the waffles tender, and it adds a nice tang that’s similar to the tang in sour cream pancakes or buttermilk pancakes. Add a drizzle of maple syrup for the perfect quick and easy breakfast!

How to make buttermilk waffles

Step 2: Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in just until combined. Don’t overmix.

Step 3: Let batter sit while you preheat the waffle iron.

Step 4: Grease the waffle iron.

Step 5: Pour in batter and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 6: Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.

Tips

• If you don’t have any buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
• The number of waffles you get from this recipe will depend on the size and shape of your waffle iron. This is the waffle iron I use.
• The recipe doubles and triples well. So, feel free to make a larger batch of waffles and freeze the leftovers.

Topping suggestions

The waffles can be served with any number of toppings. Here are a few suggestions:

• Butter and maple syrup
• Buttermilk syrup
• Nutella and strawberries
• Whipped cream and berries

How to freeze waffles

The waffles freeze well, and freezing any extra waffles is a great way to store them. To freeze the waffles, place the cooked waffles on a wire cooling rack and let them cool to room temperature.

Place the cooled waffles in an airtight, freezer-safe container. If you’re putting several layers of waffles in the container, place a piece of wax paper in between the layers.
