Buttermilk Brown Sugar Waffles Recipes

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
• Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Grease waffle iron with a small amount of melted butter, and heat. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla-bean scrapings. Pour into dry mixture, and combine.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter.
• Ladle about 1/3 cup batter onto each section of the waffle grid; spread batter almost to the edges. Close lid, and bake 3 to 5 minutes, until no steam emerges from waffle iron.
• Transfer cooked waffles to a baking sheet; place in an oven set to low heat, about 200 degrees, while using remaining batter.

BROWN SUGAR BACON WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange the bacon on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Immediately remove the bacon to a cutting board; cut into small pieces and set aside.
• Preheat a waffle iron; grease with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla together in a separate bowl; fold the wet mixture into the flour mixture. Add the bacon and stir, being careful to not over mix.
• Ladle the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown; serve hot.

BUTTERMILK-BROWN SUGAR WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, buttermilk and melted butter in a large bowl. In another bowl stir dry ingredients together, then add to egg mixture and whisk just until smooth. Let batter rest briefly.
• Heat a waffle iron and butter lightly or spray with nonstick cooking spray (even nonstick waffle irons require this step). Ladle batter onto iron (about 1/4 cup for an 8-inch round iron), close, and cook just until light golden brown. Serve immediately.

BUTTERMILK & BROWN BUTTER WAFFLES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat and cook until it browns and emits a toasted smell (the butter should be golden brown but not burnt), about 5 minutes. Remove butter from the pan and let cool to room temperature.
• Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl to aerate and break up any lumps; set aside. Whisk together cooled brown butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until evenly combined. Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir until dry ingredients are just moistened through.
• Heat the waffle iron to medium according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, brush the iron with butter or oil, fill it with batter, close the lid, and cook until waffles are golden brown, about 4 minutes for Belgian style. Serve immediately with maple syrup and a dollop of plain yogurt.

ONE-BOWL BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

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.

TENDER AND EASY BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until evenly combined. Whisk buttermilk and butter together in a separate bowl; add eggs. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until just combined and batter is slightly lumpy; add vanilla extract.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Pour enough batter into the preheated waffle iron to reach 1/2 inch from the edge. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
