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.

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.

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Brunch, Supper, Treat

Time 45m

Yield makes about 10 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs, separated
300g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
50g butter, melted
600ml semi-skimmed milk

Steps:

  • Heat the waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks. In a separate large bowl, mix together the flour, bicarbonate, caster sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the egg yolks and melted butter. Start mixing with a balloon whisk; keep whisking as you slowly add the milk until you get a smooth, thick batter. Carefully fold in the egg whites with a metal spoon.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Use a ladle to pour the batter into your waffle maker and cook for 5 mins or according to the manufacturer's instructions. Repeat until all the batter has been used up, placing your finished waffles onto a baking tray as you go.
  • Once all the waffles are made, transfer to the oven for 5 mins to warm through and crisp. Serve with sweet or savoury toppings.

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.
