Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0 nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (for waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should have some lumps.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup for most standard waffle makers). Use a spatula to evenly spread the batter if needed.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp. Refer to your waffle iron's manual for approximate cooking times (usually 4-6 minutes per waffle).

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a warm plate or oven set to 200°F to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between batches as necessary.

Step 10

Serve waffles hot with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
