BUTTERMILK WAFFLES 
Like Sunshine on a Cloudy Day, these waffles will light up your morning.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional)
8 tbsp. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. lemon oil or 1 tsp. grated lemon rind (optional)
1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries (optional)

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and butter. Stir together well.

If batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of buttermilk; if batter seems too thin, add a tablespoon or two of extra flour. Stir to mix.

Pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook until crisp and golden.

These waffles tasted so good that I think it may hold me til dinner. We also used the buttermilk substitute recipe for buttermilk and it was awesome.

I had to add quite a bit of buttermilk for consistency, but these were terrific! Everyone loved them and requested that every time we make waffles we use this recipe. It made a LOT of waffles.

Would this recipe also work well for Belgian Waffles? Open to suggestions, just got a Belgian Maker for x-mas.

Hi Tracy,

You should be able to use it in any kind of waffle iron.

Happy Baking!

Easy, quick and tasty. I woke up this morning craving for waffles and made this in less than 10 minutes. It was great.

This made great Belgian Waffles. I added some lightly cooked bacon bit and cheese to the batter. NUMmmmm!!! Also, I didn't let the fact the buttermilk was almost a week past date stop me from using it. So that was a great way to use up slightly spoiled buttermilk. I'm sure slightly spoiled milk would work as well.

Great recipe. I reduced the salt by one half, increased the buttermilk, and here's a trick for super fluffy waffles: separate the egg yolk, mix that with the buttermilk, butter, and flour mix Then take the whites and whip them to soft peaks and fold them into the batter. A little extra work, but you get light, fluffy waffles!

I use this recipe and substitute almond extract for vanilla... and I make a standard syrup with sugar, water, butter and ALMOND extract... I bake the waffles, put sliced bananas on top and then the warm syrup... my family like these as well as funnel cakes.

Delicious! The batter was a little thick but I spread it out with a wooden spoon... I served with fruit sauce, whipped cream and sausage...The left over waffles can be frozen in a single layer in freezer bags for other breakfasts...Warm for a few minutes in a toaster oven or microwave for a softer texture...

We loved this recipe. Didn't change a thing. I added fresh blueberries to the batter and they were perfect! Froze the leftovers for future breakfasts.
