THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
In creating this recipe, we tried out many different methods-folding in egg whites, milk versus buttermilk, a yeasted batter. But at the end of the day, this simple dump-and-stir was our favorite by far. Someone in the test kitchen may have even said this was the best waffle they'd ever eaten! The buttermilk makes this waffle ultra-light while the generous amount of butter makes for a super crispy exterior, leaving the inside custardy and soft. Finally, we kept the sugar to a minimum, making these the perfect foil for sweet toppings like maple syrup, berries or jam.

Steps:
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Whisk the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until a batter is formed. Whisk in the butter until incorporated, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/3 to 3/4 cup, depending on its size. (Take into consideration that the batter will spread once the lid is closed.) Close the iron and cook until the waffles are a deep golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. (If the waffle iron has a well-seasoned or nonstick surface, it may not be necessary to spray it between each batch.)
- Serve the waffles immediately with butter, syrup, jam, berries or yogurt.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat waffle iron. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together yolks, buttermilk, butter, and vanilla; stir into flour mixture.
- Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until peaks are stiff but not dry. Fold into batter.

Tips for Making Buttermilk Waffles:
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help prevent lumps.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the gluten develop and make the waffles lighter and fluffier.
- Cook the waffles in a preheated waffle iron. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings, making them a great option for any occasion. With a little practice, you can easily make perfect buttermilk waffles at home.
