OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and have ready a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat a regular (not Belgian) waffle iron. In a bowl, sift together the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The batter will be quite lumpy. In a small bowl, using a clean whisk or a handheld mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Scoop the whites onto the batter an, using the whisk, gently fold them in evenly. The finished batter may have a few small lumps. If your waffle iron is not nonstick, lightly oil the grid. Ladle some of the batter over the grid, close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles piping hot with plenty of butter and maple syrup. Serves 4.
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.

RICH BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
So often, when you find a recipe, you wonder if the poster has actually made it. I can say that I've been eating these waffles for over 52 years--that's half a century of enjoyment! :) Every Sunday was Waffle Day and we never tired of it; it was a tradition that we loved to honour. First my Grandpa made these, then my Mum, and now I make them for my own family. This is a very, very thick batter. I use a wooden spoon to push it out of the batter bowl onto the hot waffle iron. It makes 4 old-fashioned waffles that are 4 squares; I don't know how many Belgian-style waffles it would make. This does NOT store well because of the rising reaction between the buttermilk and leavening so use up all the batter and freeze any extra waffles to enjoy later in the week. From my Home to Yours: I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have these five decades!

Steps:
- NOTE: The waffles will benefit if you have all the ingredients at room temperature. I take out the eggs, melt the butter and pour the buttermilk out half an hour before making the waffles.
- When you begin to make the batter, turn on the waffle iron to get it nice and hot.
- Melt the stick of butter in a heat-proof measuring cup. Set aside to cool.
- In a large batter bowl, measure out the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt, stirring well to combine ingredients. Create a depression in the center of the dry ingredients for the buttermilk mixture.
- Beat the eggs in a large pourable measuring cup until frothy and well-combined. Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk and cooled butter. Beat until well-combined.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredient's depression and stir rapidly with a wooden spoon until well combined. There will be an immediate chemical reaction between the buttermilk and leavening, creating a thick, rich batter honeycombed with air bubbles.
- Using the wooden spoon, push 1/4 of the batter onto your waffle iron plates and bake until steam stops rising from the waffle iron or your personal degree of doneness is achieved.

Steps:
- Preheat waffle iron. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 200°F.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, butter, and eggs and stir until smooth (batter will be thick).
- Brush waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil, if necessary, and spoon batter into waffle iron, using 1/2 cup batter for each 4-inch-square Belgian waffle or 1/4 cup batter for each 4-inch-square standard waffle and spreading batter evenly. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer waffle to a baking sheet and keep warm, uncovered, in oven. Make more waffles with remaining batter in same manner.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor. You can make your own buttermilk at home by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This will help the gluten to relax and make the waffles more tender.
- Cook the waffles over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the waffles will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned buttermilk waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a stack of fluffy, golden-brown waffles that are sure to please everyone at the table.
So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give these old-fashioned buttermilk waffles a try. You won't be disappointed!
