How to Make Classic Buttermilk Waffles
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick spray or a little melted butter.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle maker (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your model) and close the lid.
- Cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Make sure your waffle maker is fully preheated for crispy edges.
- If you prefer a sweeter waffle, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity twist.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier waffle.
- Spice it up by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
What to Serve With It

- Whipped cream for a decadent touch.
