Buttermilk Waffles

Is there anything more enjoyable than weekend mornings beginning with a delectable brunch? A batch of tender Buttermilk Waffles topped with pats of melted butter and pools of maple syrup is the ideal way to start any day that stretches out in front of you. The vanilla-scented batter will fill your kitchen with its delicious aroma as the waffles cook. It is divine. Serve Buttermilk Waffles alongside a plate of crispy bacon and an abundance of mimosas.

The key to extra tender Buttermilk Waffles that are not rubbery is to avoid over-mixing. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are just barely combined. A few lumps are acceptable; they absorb into the batter as the waffles cook.

Depending on the size of the waffle iron, this recipe yields between four and six waffles. Are you cooking for a large group? The recipe easily doubles. To prepare waffles for the week in advance, multiply the recipe by two or three, cook them, and allow them to cool. Freeze waffles on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a plastic bag with a zipper. To serve, microwave or heat in a toaster oven.

1. Use high-quality ingredients: Use high-quality buttermilk, butter, and flour for the best results.
