Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0 N/A Non-stick cooking spray or additional melted butter (for greasing 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-sized bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the sour cream, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to dense waffles; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of melted butter.

Step 6

Scoop the waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron. The amount of batter needed will depend on the size and shape of your waffle iron; typically, ½ to ¾ cup of batter works for standard-sized waffles.

Step 7

Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and place them on a wire rack to keep them crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

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