Great recipe. The Waffles came out nice and fluffy.

Love this recipe! However, I only used the egg yolks and found that the batter was lighter. In a separate attempt, I tried separating the eggs and folding in whisked egg whites but it made no difference. The batter keeps well overnight to be used in the waffle iron in the morning.

Thanks for this easy, delicious recipe! I was impressed by the taste, so fluffy and crisp. Plus, there was no waiting for a half hour or need to separate the eggs. I used oat flour, almond flour, and regular flour.

Someone asked for egg substitutes; Here ya go!

I think the folks that claim they were too salty used regular table salt…I only use Kosher salt which is not as salty – table salt requires less. It’s also better to let your batter rest before cooking (also best practice for pancakes and biscuits) for fluffiness and lightness. For optimal crispiness, crank your waffle iron up high as suggested and I used melted butter to lightly baste my waffle iron vs cooking spray. More calories yes but tastes better with better results.

I’m always surprised when people low rate a recipe when they deviate from the instructions or something that has nothing to do with it (i.e., ads). I followed explicitly even with hesitation regarding cranking up the heat on my waffle iron and voila!! The best waffles I’ve ever made or even had in a restaurant which says a lot being a foodie and home chef. Only challenge I had was figuring out how much batter for each waffle and after the 1st one that overflowed I figured out to use 1/2 cup to make 5 waffles. I will definitely be making these as part of my regular Sunday brunch rotation.

Great waffles, Light inside with a crispy outside. Will add a teaspoon of cinnamon and play with the butter/buttermilk ratio, a bit high on butter.

I made these waffles Christmas Eve brunch and reduced the salt based on some of the reviews. They were great! Today I made them again according to the recipe and, wow, that is a salty waffle! I almost want to thicken it and just make tortillas or something out of them. I decided to add chocolate chips to hide the saltiness.

In the mind-fog of a rainy morning, even though I jacked up my measurements trying to cut recipe in half…they were still good! I did separate my egg and whipped the white then folded in, but other than that and my miscalculation of buttermilk…delish

Looooved these waffles. I added apple (very small diced) and some cinnamon as I was craving apple waffles.
They have such a lovely crunch and re so soft inside. Perfect

I found this recipe because I needed to use the remainder of buttermilk from a different recipe. These turned out great and browned nicely and tasted excellent. I appreciate that the waffles are not overly sweet with the two tbsp of sugar. I added a dash of pumpkin pie spice since I had it. I will make these again and again! Thanks!

These did turn out crispy, but I found them too salty and oily. I think they will be good for a savoury recipe, or balanced with a lot of sugary items like syrup.
Aid I made this recipe again, I will cut the butter in half, and not add salt, since it’s already in the baking powder, soda and butter.

These were tasty and quick to throw together, but I prefer the Betty Crocker method of beating the egg whites and folding them into the batter. More time and effort but they’re very light and crispy.

These waffles were amazing!
I never write reviews but when I saw a bad one, I had to comment.
My boyfriend, just said ‘what are you doing?’, i said, ‘i am writing a review about the waffles’, he said ‘you never do that’, i said ‘i know but there was a bad comment about them and they were amazing’, he said, ‘really? those waffles were badass’
I totally agree, these waffles are badass ;)
I let the batter sit for about 10 minutes before I cooked them, I think it helps with the fluff factor.
Thank you for a great recipe!

I could get a better waffle from a Bisquick or any cheap name brand Waffle mix. It is the worst I have ever made in my waffle iron. My husband was so looking forward to it cause he wanted some crispiness to a waffle what do we have to do ingredient.

Very good waffles. I love waffles, make them frequently. This recipe has become my favorite. I use coconut oil instead of butter sometimes and it works perfect too.
I bake them on the highest temp setting and bake them until they quit steaming, then you know they’re done.

Thanks for the recipe.

REALLY good waffles!! I have made many a waffle recipe, and the food ones are usually so complicated (or need overnight prep) that I never make them again. Not so with this one!! Easy, fast, and so delicious!!! Perfect crispy and fluffy texture. Flavor is buttery and slightly sweet (I used erythritol with monk fruit instead of sugar) but no other changes. YUM!!!!

I fancy myself as a bit of a home cook.
When I got my Belgium waffle maker, making homemade from scratch waffles for my son in the morning would have been a joy, but after many, MANY recipes he always thought grandma’s pre mixed Krustee*z add water waffles were better….Until this recipe. He said, “Mom, what did you do different?”. I brace myself for a less than stellar review, “Why you like’em?”. “Yes! These are the best waffles you have ever made!”. I said, “Better than Grandma’s!?”. He said, “Yes, these are the best waffles I have ever had!”. I’m writing this recipe down & claiming it as my own (shameless I know). I thank you so much for this recipe, I can finally stop looking for the perfect waffle recipe.

I used a measured pinch of salt due to the high sodium in the baking powder and soda. They turned out delicious, and putting them in the oven at 300 F was fantastic because it crisped them up on the outside!

As a former chef and picky at times, I have to say this is awesome recipe. Works great with powdered buttermilk too. Skip the sugar and get waffle sugar chunks, add nuts or blueberry. Skip sugar all together and mix in crumbled bacon and served with eggs and melted cheese. The sky is a limit.
I love to try people’s recipes at times and this one will not disappoint you!

Great waffle recipe for savory chicken and waffles. After cooking all on the iron, heated for 5 minutes in a 350 oven to crisp and warm them up for service.
Coconut oil on the iron helped to crisp and quick release.

I made these this morning as I’ve been trying to use up buttermilk from holiday baking and they were DELICIOUS. I used light brown sugar instead of white, and a bit less salt than the recipe calls for. To note, the butter WILL harden and clump once you add it to the other wet ingredients but keep calm and carry on, and everything will be fine 😌

K — January 8, 2022 @ 12:20 pm Reply

Made this twice. First time it was not crispy and a tad soggy and that had everything to do with the waffle iron. It was a Belgian style iron with no heat adjustment and it just never got hot enough. A HOT iron=Perfection. The second round I made I used a hand me down traditional Toastmaster (50-60’s vintage) that was adjustable and I cranked it up to 425ish. The high heat is needed for the crisp outside. They were awesome! Recipe is now bookmarked under Favs!

lori — January 8, 2022 @ 12:16 pm Reply

I made these in my Dash mini waffle maker this morning and they were a huge hit! So light and fluffy. Buttermilk makes all the difference! This is our new go-to recipe.

For those having trouble with the crispiness, my first few weren’t that crispy, but then I realized that these were so fluffy they were actually pushing the waffle iron open as they cooked. So I used slightly less batter and adjusted my cooking time. Then they were perfect!

Tyler — January 5, 2022 @ 7:42 pm Reply

Been making the Emeril belgian waffles for over a decade as my go-to. Had some buttermilk left from the holidays and decided to use this recipe. Glad I did. A lot less fussy to make than Emeril’s but imo even more delicious with a great texture and appearance. This will be my new go-to for belgian waffles.

Not sure what I did wrong but the batter just separated in my waffle iron and got stuck in all the crevices. After two failed attempts I made these as pancakes (which were delicious by the way) just wish it would have worked out in waffle form.

Excellent waffles.. I am sorry a handful of others had a poor experience but as we all know, cooking is an art and many things can affect the results (even altitude!). I have made these twice and both time the results were excellent. I do let the batter sit for a 1/2 hour so the buttermilk can react with the flour and lend itself to even lighter fluffier waffles.

My husband loves these waffles so it is now our standard “go to”waffle recipe… (providing we follow them with a hike afterwards!)

Made this recipe twice exactly as written in Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker, the waffles were fantastic! Toasty brown on the outside and light on the inside. I was hoping to find an alternative recipe to the recipes that came with the waffle maker, which require yeast. Don’t bother with the yeast recipes, this is the only one you need!

I’ve made my share of waffles. I usually find a recipe and tweak it. I convert all recipes to bakers weights, so in grams. I converted this one and used my usual tweaks, plus one accidental and I got hands down the best waffles I’ve ever made. As written the recipe is fine. With my tweaks, these went next level big time.

I used, accidently because I just moved and that’s why I just looked up a reasonable recipe-I couldn’t find mine, high gluten flour. At first this seems like a mistake. Read on.

My other mods are to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. I also whip the yolks to ribbon stage. These two mods I’ve adopted to all my baking. This, I believe, is what counters the use of high gluten flour. Forced air into what might have been a dense result. I also split the sugar between the whites and the yolks, and the same with the vanilla, when I whip them.

I like to take my time and make great food. It does take a little longer but have a great coffee, enjoy the time with your loved ones. It’s worth it.

Also I need to try this with actual buttermilk. I make my own with milk and vinegar. Another mod I’m antsy to try is the same thing with vinegar but with heavy cream to get that viscosity. Then I can use all the cream to make whipped cream as well for topping with fruit. Buttermilk is kind of expensive for a single purpose ingredient. I don’t like having that left and nothing I can do with it. Using milk and vinegar makes more practical sense, for me.

Crispy, light, a little tang. These were absolutely perfect. The best I’ve ever made.

Now in my head I can make my go to ratio for waffles 1:1 for flour to milk, with high gluten and 2 eggs. Baking powder and soda for most recipes is usually 1/2 to 1 tsp to one cup. More powder more rise. Careful with soda since it will add unwanted flavors. Salt and vanilla to taste and boom. Perfect. Butter is usually about 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp to one cup flour. (yes I’ve converted all those to grams too but I’ll keep things consistent for this page)

I am very pleased with your recipe! For half of the batter I added fresh cooked bacon crumbles and topped it with roasted cherry tomatoes & onions and a fried egg. It was delicious!
I cooked the rest and will have one later with strawberries and maple syrup. I love to make a compote of apples, pears, and cranberries this time of year which is a great topping as well, with toasted pecans.
Thank you for the well thought out recipe!

These were really good waffles! They were really soft, eggy, and had a great flavor and texture. I did find in my Belgian waffle maker (a Procter Silex that makes 1 large round waffle) this made 5 waffles, but there was a lot of overspill (my bad for overfilling the waffle maker) and I think I should have done 6 slightly smaller waffles. Also, it took more like 4-5 minutes per waffle than 2-3 minutes. I would definitely make these again with those adjustments.

These are delicious! My family and I really enjoyed these this morning!

I do have one question – when you say this recipe makes 5 large Belgian waffles, does that mean 5 sets of 4 squares (so 20 squares)? I assume so, because it would be odd to make 5 squares, and I got 16-17 squares out of this recipe.

Unfortunately this recipe didn’t work for me. They were too dense and did not crisp up. I have a go to recipe that I always use with regular milk, but I had extra buttermilk to use so I tried this one. The batter looked great, didn’t overmix, followed exactly. They had a good taste, just failed for me in texture.

Kelly — August 1, 2020 @ 2:30 pm Reply

I will use this recipe from now on. I was a little dubious about the indulgence of 1/2 cup of melted butter in the batter, but these turned out so delicious. We used whipped buttermilk (leftover from my kid’s error- they thought it was the whipping cream) which made them extra light and airy inside. I like my waffles plain with just a bit of butter, and the flavor of these waffles was wonderful. They also held up well for the toppings my family heaped on theirs- strawberries and whipped cream or butter & syrup. I’d need to double this recipe to have any leftovers for my family of 4 with 2 hungry teens.

Ally Rogers — July 20, 2020 @ 10:25 am Reply

The waffles are delicious, I usually beat my egg whites separately and fold them in just before I cook the waffles. Your recipe is easier.

These were delicious! I loved not having to separate eggs…just more work and they came out perfect. Cranked my waffle maker up to #5 out of 6 high, and they were nicely crisped, yet still very fluffy.
Next time I’m going to use brown sugar in place of white sugar to see how that works out. I always do it with my pancakes and we love it!

I used mostly oat flour (1¼ c, then ½ c regular flour) and salted butter, but reduced salt to ¼ tsp. Came out great, once cooked, but when i mixed the wet ingredients, I got chunks. The buttermilk was not bad, I’m thinking the melted butter may have been too warm for the other cold ingredients. Still, super-yummy!

Naomi Coutts — May 19, 2020 @ 5:21 am Reply

I an in the UK, and made this with Greek yogurt with a splash of lemon juice in place of buttermilk. The batter was of a spooning, not pouring consistency, but the waffle maker squashed it out and the resultant waffles were fantastic. We are frequent waffle eaters and I usually Google a recipe and make a different one each time, I will be writing this one down!

Rick — May 17, 2020 @ 12:06 pm Reply

The wet mixture gets lumpy every time I try this. Right when I start to whisk the wet ingredients little lumps form and fill the bowl. Is the buttermilk curdling? Is this normal? What am I doing wrong? Not sure if the batter is still okay to use when this happens.

I’ve used this recipe a few times now and it’s been great, except for the couple of times where I’ve over mixed. As the directions say, it’s very important not to overmix! They freeze and reheat well in the toaster oven. Instead of pouring maple syrup over the waffles, I mix a bit of melted butter with warm maple syrup in a tiny tiny ramekin and dip my waffle into it.

These are the BEST waffles! Crisp on the outside, delicate and fluffy inside, delicious all around. I make the whole batch and freeze the leftovers between sheets of waxed paper. Reheated in the toaster oven, they make for a quick and yummy mid-week breakfast.

This recipe was very easy to follow and it had a wonderful flavor. I thought that it was a bit heavy though, almost pancake-like. I was hoping for something lighter and crispier kind of like the waffles I order at Perkins Restaurant. Try it for yourself though, it might be just to your liking.

Gail Ann — April 15, 2020 @ 7:29 am Reply

Yes, these are the best and quickest waffles to whip up. No separation of the eggs and beating up egg whites ( my old favorite recipe) and folding in. They are light and crispy, just delicious. I know I will be making waffles more often. Great baked in my Mickey Mouse waffle maker. Made waffles for supper with fresh fruit salad. Delicious.

Incredible!!! Just as advertised! Crispy outside, fluffy inside!!

I’d been looking for a recipe that rivaled First Watch, which is my husband’s FAVORITE waffle. He said this recipe wins. I did make one substitution: instead of all-purpose flour, I used bread flour and folded the batter instead of whisking.

I had some buttermilk left from a previous recipe and yesterday I started thinking about waffles, but wanted to use the buttermilk, so I looked online for Buttermilk Waffles and your recipe said, crispy and my husband likes crispy and I do too!

This recipe is super easy and tastes fantastic. A little inspiration hit me the night before, as I began to wonder what a slight substitution for cake flour might produce. So I swapped the 1-3/4 C of all purpose flour for 1 C of all purpose and 3/4 C of cake flour. As I was reaching toward the back of our pantry, I knocked over the jar of vanilla in the front, which shattered all over our kitchen floor. So aside from the clean up and nice smelling kitchen, I was left without a key ingredient. But we also have mexican vanilla extract that I keep particularly for tres leche cake, so I pressed the mexican vanilla inti service our of necessity. The end result with the cake flour substitution ans the mexican vanilla was quite lovely. Waffles were super soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the slight spiciness of the mexican vanilla flavor pairs quite nicely with pure maple syrup.

Proportions are different but is this based on the AB pancake recipe? Melt the butter and add the egg yolks. Add the egg whites to the buttermilk in a separate bowl. Do not combine until the iron is hot then combine the wets just before adding to the dry. Long 10 count to stir then walk away, grease the iron and scoop.

I put apple butter on my waffles if I am out of real maple syrup. Or honey with orange or lemon zest.

Sandra Mathis — December 14, 2019 @ 10:28 am Reply

These have got to be the BEST waffles I’ve made! I tweaked it slightly to suit my taste by leaving out the vanilla and when the batter seemed a little thick I thinned it with Topo Chico….club soda. Very airy and light with a light crunch on the outside and tender and buttery on the inside!

Julie — December 11, 2019 @ 7:12 pm Reply

I’ve tried several buttermilk waffle recipes and this one caught my eye. The others I have tried have been floppy and just didn’t cut it. I did tweet it a little – I added a quarter cup of cornmeal and another quarter cup of almond flour. The waffles still came out fluffy and crisp and soaked up the maple syrup divinely. I also justify making waffles healthier by topping the waffle with slices of banana (in addition to the butter and maple syrup, of course). I wrote the recipe down on a card immediately after our “breakfast for dinner”, and it will now become my go to for the best buttermilk waffles! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!

I used an inexpensive waffle iron off Amazon so they didn’t come out as crisp as I prefer, but I popped them in the toaster after they were cooked and they became perfectly crisp!
I halved the recipe and also mixed chocolate chips into the batter before cooking.
I’ll definitely be remaking!

I confess I was a bit skeptical. I like the waffles I normally make, but, obviously they were a little lacking since I was still looking. My (previous) waffles were tasty, but soggy. I loved these waffles. I will definitely make again. Thank you!

Michelle! You have helped me perform a miracle! Thanks to this recipe (and some maple cream syrup I added on top), my husband has finally said “my” waffles are better than his mom’s waffles! We made these on Saturday morning (and again Monday morning, because…Memorial Day apparently now calls for waffles), and my husband and son couldn’t stop saying, “mmmmmm.” Once I finished cooking and sat down to my own, I understood why the table got so quiet except for the sighs of pleasure. These are THE BEST waffles we’ve ever tried. And, thanks to trying to top my mother-in-law for years, we’ve tried our fair share! These are absolutely delicious and way easier than every other recipe I’ve tried. We will never eat another waffle again. Thank you!

Followed the recipe to a tee. Two bowls: wet and dry. Great way to use a pint of buttermilk, which is hard to find. The end product was light. This was the first time using the low-end, round, waffle iron. Homemade blueberry compote was a formidable complement. Leftovers were wrapped individually in plastic wrap then stored in the refrigerator.

In your recipe, the eggs are separate or not! I did not separate the eggs and they are still a great waffle.

Hi Michelle,
Seeking your advisem*nt.
I made my batter on Sunday at 10am. I probably had the batter out of the fridge for 20 minutes. I used some of it this morning – no issues. Tonight, around 6pm, the batter had mold in it ( a significant amount) – quite frightening.
What I did different: I did not have buttermilk, so I used soda water and dried milk powder to give it more lift. I mixed the batter is a kitchen-aid stainless steel mixing bowl. The storage container was plastic and far as I know it was clean. Any ideas, as I’ve never seen this before. I am thinking to remake it to see if it was an aberration, but wanted to see if you think the milk powder or seltzer water could be related? Thanks in advance-

First, thank you for this and all your other wonderful recipes. I do have a question on this recipe though, my waffles came out really “eggy/sulfery” (if that is even a word) and also became soft really quick.

What a wonderful recipe! For anyone wondering if this is the waffle recipe for them, ours came out perfectly soft and airy in the middle, while crisp on the outside. Maybe it’s the two eggs and vanilla, but the first time we made them, they had almost a french toast taste, so this time I added about 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon to the dry ingredient mix–Perfect french toast-waffle hybrid!

I went through an Eggo phase years ago and then a homemade waffle phase a while after that. I hadn’t had waffles in 6 or 7 years until I started making them for a dinner treat a few weeks ago. Love them with pure maple syrup and a little jam. I’ll have to try pb!

These are beautiful. I’m a huge fan of buttermilk waffles. They remind me of my Grandma! :)

I have been craving waffles so hard lately so this post comes just in time! I love how fluffy and light these look, and the buttermilk is a MUST! Perfect!

I love making homemade waffles. My fiance is not one who really likes breakfast, although I have been making him eat it lately since his schedule is so crazy he never knows when he will eat. I have been making homemade waffle varieties and freezing them so he can just toast them up in the morning. I love how you can flavor them how you like in varieties you can’t find in stores. My only issue with buttermilk waffles is that I feel like I am wasting half a container of buttermilk each time.

John — May 8, 2013 @ 8:18 am Reply

Cooks advice, when combining the wet and dry to make the batter, do a slow 10 mississippi count then walk away. THEN heat the iron while letting the batter rest for 5 full minutes, yes 5 minutes. The iron will be ready before that but you wait will result in greater flav and batter (better) fluffy waffales.

I LOVE waffles with peanut butter and syrup, I rarely eat them any other way. I also make a homemade coconut syrup that is fantastic with toasted pecan or chocolate chip waffles. It’s a tradition on my mom’s side of the family to have homemade waffles every Saturday night. They have the traditional toppings, but they also have sausage gravy. I was skeptical at first, but it’s really good!

Thanks so much for sharing, these waffles look so fluffy and light! Also, I used one of your recipes to make a chocolate cake this past weekend and even though I used wheat flour, it was one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever had. Fantastic recipes!!

Oh and up until a month ago my family was all over the eggo waffles!

Is there anything better than buttermilk waffles? Yours are stunning!!!

I usually sneak in a bit of buckwheat flour for additional flavor although that sometimes requires a pinch more sugar. My favorite waffles are made fluffier/lighter by separating the eggs, mixing the yolks in with the liquids while gently folding in the beaten whites (soft peak) just before ladling the batter onto the hot (oiled) waffle maker.

Your waffles look wonderful! And PB on an Eggo is a beautiful thing! Last week I made a puppy chow-like snack mix with buttery waffles thrown into a PB-white chocolate-coating mixture, tossed with popcorn and Chex. So good. I get my waffle, PB, and white choc cravings handled all in one. Your buttermilk waffles clearly blow Eggos away!
