Buttermilk Waffle Batter Recipes

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees; set a rack on a baking sheet, and place in oven. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs; add flour mixture, and mix just until batter is combined.
• Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions; brush with oil. Pour batter onto iron (amount depends on iron size), leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides (spread batter if necessary). Close iron; cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to rack in oven to keep warm; repeat with remaining batter.

TENDER AND EASY BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

• 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.

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle iron. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, butter, and eggs and stir until smooth (batter will be thick).
• Brush waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil, if necessary, and spoon batter into waffle iron, using 1/2 cup batter for each 4-inch-square Belgian waffle or 1/4 cup batter for each 4-inch-square standard waffle and spreading batter evenly. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in oven. Make more waffles with remaining batter in same manner.
• Serve with butter and maple syrup.

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.

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.
