Sunday Supper Buttermilk Waffles Recipes

THE BEST BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

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.

MY FAVORITE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat waffle maker on medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 200F degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, butter, sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until smooth. Do not overmix.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. I typically use a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to whisk the egg whites. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
• Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into each well of the waffle maker (or less if your waffle maker is smaller) and close the lid. Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the cooked waffles to the wire rack and keep warm in the preheated oven as you cook the rest. Repeat to cook the remaining batter.
• Serve the waffles immediately with butter and maple syrup, or your choice of toppings.

SUNDAY SUPPER WAFFLES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl.
• Combine and mix milk, egg yolks and vanilla in a medium bowl.
• Beat egg whites until stiff in a large bowl.
• Add milk and egg yolk mixture to dry ingredients. Beat with electric mixer at high speed just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
• Stir in slightly cooled butter. Fold in egg whites, leaving little fluffs of them showing in batter.
• Pour batter onto center of heated waffle iron. Pour in center of griddle until it spreads to about 1" from edges and cook until browned and done. My iron takes about 6 minutes but I know they will vary.
• Makes 8 waffles.
