Ditch the box and make from your waffles from scratch! This easy and incredible homemade classic fluffy buttermilk waffle recipe uses only 7 ingredients.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the eggs, oil, and buttermilk.
Whisk all ingredients together until a thin and slightly lumpy batter forms.
Pour the batter into your waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
When the waffle is done cooking, carefully place it on a wire rack to cool, taking care not to stack the waffles on top of each other. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve waffles hot with your favorite topping, such as buttermilk syrup, strawberries, and whipped cream.
Notes
No buttermilk? No problem! For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let rest for 5 minutes before using.
I have replaced half of the oil in this recipe with applesauce with great success.
You can easily substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour. Because it is lighter than regular whole wheat flour in texture, you won't notice much difference at all.
These waffles are a great base for all kinds of toppings - sweet AND savory.
