Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
• 0.75 cups dried cranberries
• 0 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Fold in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter (based on your waffle iron's size) onto the hot iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes or according to your waffle iron's settings.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the waffle iron with cooking spray as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
