Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour I use about half white whole wheat
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of table salt
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of oil or melted butter somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 cup
  • 2 cups of buttermilk plus more to consistency

Instructions

  • Heat your waffle iron.
  • Mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar).
  • Add the eggs, oil or melted butter, and buttermilk.  Stir together until JUST combined, don't overmix!  
  • Add more buttermilk a little at a time as needed until it's a thick batter but will drop easily off a spoon.  If you get a spoonful and hold it above the bowl, it should hesitate a split-second before dropping back into the bowl (and make a momentary dent in the batter).  
  • Ladle onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden and crispy (about 5 minutes per waffle for my waffle iron).

Notes

  • I like to use half white whole wheat flour and half regular
  • These are great re-warmed in a toaster or toaster oven
  • I halve this recipe for myself to have an indulgent but not ridiculous weekend brunch
