WAFFLES FROM SCRATCH
On Saturdays, my mom and I always went shopping, but before we left, she made my favorite lunch, homemade waffles from scratch. They were about 8 inches around and prepared in a grill set on top of the stove. Those waffles were so delicious! -Florence Dean, Towson, Maryland

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.

Tips:
- For crispy waffles, use a well-seasoned waffle iron and preheat it to the highest setting.
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter - over-mixing will result in tough waffles.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking - this will help the gluten to relax and produce lighter waffles.
- Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still fluffy on the inside.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
