Ingredients
  1. 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1⁄ 2 teaspoon salt
  5. 2 cups buttermilk
  6. 1⁄ 3 cup melted butter or oil, cook’s preference
  7. 2 eggs, beaten to mix
Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk together both mixtures and beat until smooth.
  3. When the waffle iron is hot enough for a bit of oil to sizzle, ladle or pour the batter directly into the center of the lower half until it spreads to within an inch from the edges. Close and cook according to manufacturer’s directions. Do not lift cover during baking. Steam will escape from the sides of the waffle iron, so take care not to get burned. When the steam subsides, the waffle is nearly ready.
  4. When the waffle is done, lift the cover. Loosen waffle with a fork and remove.
  5. Meanwhile, close the waffle iron to reheat quickly. When ready, pour in the batter for the next waffle. Thin the batter as needed with more buttermilk.
Notes
  1. Waffle batters, like pancake batters, are best made half an hour or more before cooking.
Variations
  1. • Self-rising flour may be substituted in equal measure for the flour, omitting baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. • For “sweet” milk waffles, use 1 tablespoon baking powder and substitute milk for the buttermilk.
