Jump to the bottom of the recipe card below this post for full ingredient measurements and instructions.

Flour – all-purpose flour (can be substituted with gluten-free flour)

Buttermilk – room temperature

Eggs – 2 eggs at room temperature

Melted butter – unsalted butter

Leaveners – baking powder and baking soda

Sugar – granulated sugar (can be substituted with any sweetener)

Vanilla extract – pure vanilla extract

Salt – sea salt or kosher salt

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and sugar.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient mixture. Stir well to combine removing large lumps.
Make the waffles: Heat the waffle iron then pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Continue until you have used all the waffle batter.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

Preheat the waffle maker. Make sure the waffle maker is nice and hot before adding the batter. A hot waffle iron will ensure crispy, perfect waffles every time.
Keep cooked waffles warm. Place the cooked waffles on a sheet pan and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 250°F until you are ready to serve them to prevent cold, soggy waffles.
Top with fresh fruit. Blueberries, sliced strawberries, and bananas are a yummy way to top the waffles. I also like to drizzle on some chocolate sauce or sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar.
Use room-temperature dairy. I always take out my eggs ahead of time or place them in warm water to ensure that they are not too cold before adding them. I also place the milk in a microwave for a few seconds to remove the chill from it.
Double the recipe. This recipe makes about 4 waffles, but can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd!
