Buttermilk Waffles

These waffles are so good. I made the batter last night and cooked them this morning. They are so rich and filling too! My other waffle recipe takes about 2 hours to make so this recipe sure is a good one to have on hand. I also added 2 Tbsp. sugar and 2 tsp. vanilla to the batter. Thanks for sharing!

Waaay to salty. And then to add more salt? Loved the yield and use of buttermilk But Too salty.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these! They are the best! I found them by accident 4 years ago when my sister told me where to find the recipe she recommended. I found this one using her directions, and set about to make them for her and my niece. I didn't have access to a hand mixer that day, so as I was painfully and exhaustingly whisking the egg whites by hand, I eventually began to grumble about it. She asked what I was doing and I told her, and she then realized she had directed me to the wrong recipe! I finally got them beaten stiff, and I folded them in. The waffles were worth it. So much so that I chose this recipe deliberately again the following year for our newly-annual "Christmas Waffles and Elf" day that I started with my niece. The third year, I ran out of time and money, so I just used a boxed mix, which was "okay," but nothing special. This year, I searched everywhere until I found this recipe again. I have a hand mixer now, and the whisking of the egg whites only took about 2 minutes. SO EASY. I realize now all of the reasons that make this one better than ANY other: 1) Butter, not oil = YUM. So much good, buttery flavor. 2) No sugar! You can add sweet to these on top, but on their own they are buttery, not sweet. YUM. 3) Real buttermilk, not milk. 4) Both baking soda and baking powder help to give it rise, and the baking soda also makes it a tiny bit more salty. 5) The beaten egg whites not only help give it even more light and fluffy volume, but they also help to make it more of a crispy golden on the outside. I personally am a strictly strawberries and (HOMEMADE and LIGHTLY sweetened) whipped cream girl. My niece adds all sort of fruit and whipped cream to hers, and she loves it. My sister, who is EXTREMELY picky came by today and had leftover waffles from the batter I made last night. She put blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. She RAVED about them. This is just the absolute perfect recipe. I love everything about it. Everyone loves these waffles.

Very crispy and fluffy at the same time- I used kefir milk in place of buttermilk. My husband and three kids cleaned their plates and asked for more!

I got a Belgian waffle maker for Christmas and this was the first recipe I tried. I will look no farther! I added a little sugar and vanilla to the batter. We had them for the second time this morning and my husband said they were the best waffles he's ever had.
