Ingredients

Instructions

  • If you haven’t already, microwave the butter in a small bowl until it is completely melted.
  • Add the butter to a large mixing bowl along with the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients together until homogenous.
  • Gently whisk in the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Make sure there are no unincorporated clumps of flour in the batter.
  • If you are making mini waffles, cook 1/3 cup of batter in a preheated waffle iron for about 3 minutes. If you are making large waffles then cook 2/3 cup of waffle batter. This will make roughly 6 large waffles or 12 small waffles.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For the crispiest exterior, let your waffle iron get completely hot before adding any batter - usually about 5 minutes after it signals it's ready.
  • Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are actually good! This helps keep your waffles tender instead of tough.
  • These waffles are at their peak crispiness right off the iron, but you can keep them warm in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the batch.
  • The perfect amount of batter is about 3/4 cup for a standard waffle iron - this helps prevent overflow and ensures even cooking.
