Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.75 cups buttermilk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray or melted butter (for the 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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron based on its size (approximately 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on the waffle iron). Spread the batter slightly if needed.

Step 7

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed.

Step 9

Serve the waffles immediately, topped with your choice of fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
