Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (415ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the 250g all-purpose flour, 25g granulated sugar, 12g baking powder, and 3g salt in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate small bowl or measuring jug, whisk the 2 large eggs vigorously before stirring in the 415ml buttermilk, 115g melted butter, and 5ml vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk until just combined; stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear, leaving a few small lumps.
  4. Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray if necessary.
  5. Pour about 3/8 cup (90 ml) of batter per waffle into the iron and cook until the steam stops escaping and the exterior is a deep mahogany-colored brown.
  6. Transfer finished waffles to a wire cooling rack for 30 seconds before serving to maintain the crispness.
