Easy Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles Recipe

Like you, we often have waffles as a special breakfast or brunch entrée, I have to tell you, we’ve come to love them just as much for dessert. When serving them for dessert, I like serving with a sprinkling of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, and homemade chocolate fudge sauce with berries. They’re also spectacular served topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of bourbon praline pecan sauce. So consider setting up a dessert waffle bar for a fun family or entertaining option using waffles.How to make simple Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

• Dry Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg yolks, butter and vanilla.
• Combine – Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients mixing just until fully moistened.
• Egg Whites – Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter. Batter will be lumpy.
• Cook – Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Pour in enough batter to lightly cover the surface of the iron, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on size.
• Close iron cooking until waffles have crisp and golden exteriors, about 5 minutes or according to manufacturer recommendation.
• Cook waffles in batches. Repeat spraying the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed.
• Keep Warm – Keep waffles warm between batches in a 200°F oven in a single layer on a sheet pan, until serving.
• Serve immediately with butter, drizzled with syrup or with jam and fresh berries.

• Depending on the waffle iron you have, they can be made into any shape you like. Should you choose to use a larger waffle iron, the yield may vary.
• Whipping the egg white separately adds an airiness to the batter. Fold it gently into the pancake batter so it will stay fluffy.

• If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make your own. To make your own buttermilk: Add 1 Tbsp of lemon juice or white distilled vinegar to each cup of milk called for. Let stand on the counter for 5-8 minutes, then stir and proceed with the recipe.
