Belgian Buttermilk Waffles

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

2 cups well-shaken buttermilk

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

2 large eggs

Vegetable oil for waffle iron

Instructions

Put oven rack in middle position and put a large metal cooling rack directly on it.  Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron.

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs in another bowl.

Then whisk into flour mixture until just combined.

The recipe doesn’t call for vanilla, but I added a teaspoon just because I wanted to.

Brush hot waffle iron lightly with vegetable oil and pour a slightly rounded 1/2 cup of batter into each waffle mold.

Cook waffles according until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer as cooked to rack in oven to keep warm,

keeping waffles in 1 layer to stay crisp.  Make remaining waffles in same manner.

Enjoy!
