There is nothing better than waking up to a pile of beautiful buttermilk waffles. Top them with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs, or indulge your sweet side with Canadian maple syrup and icing sugar. Whatever you fancy, these waffles are a fantastic canvas on which to paint your breakfast delicious.
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 large free range-eggs
85 grams unsalted butter, melted
waffle iron (mine is a square that makes 4 at a time)
mixture will yield 12-14
Recipe
Preheat your oven to 140°C and your waffle iron to the desired setting.
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together. Pour in the melted butter, then whisk again to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the waffle iron, leaving room around the edges for it to spread, and cook for 3-5 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Transfer to a tray in the oven to keep warm while you finish the rest.
Serve with your favourite berries, Canadian maple syrup, or switch it up by making them for dessert and top with ice-cream and piles of brightly coloured sprinkles.
