Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 large eggs, 2 cups of buttermilk, and 1/2 cup of melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and beat them lightly. Then add the 2 cups of buttermilk and the 1/2 cup of melted butter to the eggs. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If your waffle iron requires greasing, lightly brush it with oil or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Once the waffle iron is ready, pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup. The amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron, but usually about 1 cup of batter works well.
- Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a fork or tongs and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve the buttermilk waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Enjoy your Mama Driggs Famous Buttermilk Waffles with family and friends!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Use the spoon-and-level method for flour to avoid dense waffles.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to tough waffles.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter. This will help achieve that perfect golden-brown crispiness.
- Customize Your Waffles: Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or spices such as cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Keep Them Warm: If you’re making a large batch, keep the cooked waffles warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t be afraid to get creative with toppings! Try yogurt, honey, or even a scoop of ice cream for a delicious twist.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast!
