THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES



The Best Buttermilk Waffles image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield about 6 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Nonstick cooking spray
Maple syrup, jam, berries or yogurt, for serving

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.

BUTTERMILK-BROWN SUGAR WAFFLES



Buttermilk-Brown Sugar Waffles image

This recipe first appeared in The Times in a 2006 article Julia Moskin wrote about wedding registries and what items couples should (and shouldn't) include on theirs. A cookware set? No. Better to buy pieces individually according to a couple's needs. A waffle iron? Why yes, if there's any chance of children. These waffles are light, crisp and easy to throw together, like traditional waffles, but the buttermilk lends tang and the brown sugar an earthy sweetness. The secret ingredient here is wheat germ. It provides a lovely toothsome texture and crunch.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Buttermilk: Use fresh, high-quality buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no large lumps remain.
  • Use a Hot Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. A hot waffle iron will help to create crispy, golden waffles.
  • Cook the Waffles Thoroughly: Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Check the waffles by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the waffles are done.
  • Serve the Waffles Immediately: Waffles are best served immediately after they are cooked. Top with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk waffles are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. With a few simple ingredients and a hot waffle iron, you can easily make perfect waffles at home. Experiment with different toppings and flavors to create your own unique waffle recipes. Whether you like them classic with butter and syrup, or loaded with fruit and whipped cream, buttermilk waffles are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
