THE BEST WAFFLE RECIPE

Thick, fluffy waffles with golden crisp exteriors. I make this waffle recipe in a belgian iron, but you can use any waffle iron just keep in mind that the time required to cook will vary.

Time 19m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour ((250g))
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cup buttermilk (please click the link for instructions on how to make a simple buttermilk substitute (473ml))
2 large eggs (whites and yolks divided)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled a bit)

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the bowl,
Add buttermilk, egg yolks (reserve the whites, you will need them in a moment), and vanilla extract to the well. Gently whisk together wet ingredients (avoiding the dry) and drizzle butter into mixture while whisking.
Whisk all wet ingredients together in the well to combine and scramble the egg yolks. Use a spatula to gradually incorporate the rest of the batter until all ingredients are well-combined (but don't over-mix). There will likely be some small lumps in the batter.
In a separate (completely clean and completely dry) bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
Fold egg whites into batter, stir gently until completely combined,
Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes while your waffle iron preheats.
Once waffle iron is ready, portion batter into hot iron (for my Belgian iron I need about 1 ¼ cups of batter). Cook until golden brown. How long the waffle takes will depend on your iron, for my Presto Belgian iron it takes about 4 minutes. The first waffle is usually a test to judge how much batter to use and how long to cook.
Serve warm, topped with butter and syrup, whipped cream and berries, or powdered sugar!

CLASSIC WAFFLES

Classic Waffles image

This is a no-fail recipe. Fluffy on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside. You can also substitute regular milk for the buttermilk and they turn out just as good! I have a Belgian waffle maker that flips 180 degrees, so please note that the "flipping waffle maker over" part of the recipe is aimed at that type of machine (think Waffle House). If you have a standard waffle maker, I'd suggest pouring the batter into the center of the bottom and spreading it out a little with a spoon before closing the lid.
