Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and salt together.
- Add enough flour to make a rather stiff batter.
- When ready to bake, add the soda and beat hard for a few minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Make sure to adjust the flour amount based on the humidity in your kitchen, as it can affect the batter consistency. This recipe is great for adapting into different flavors, like adding vanilla or almond extract.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these super waffles with a variety of toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup for a delightful breakfast. For a more indulgent treat, consider pairing them with a side of Baked Ice Cream Pie In Cocoa Crust for dessert. They also make a fantastic base for a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon or a vegetarian option with avocado and tomatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through and crispy. You can also freeze waffles by placing parchment paper between them and storing them in a freezer bag for up to a month. Reheat directly from frozen in the toaster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour to make these waffles a bit healthier. However, the texture may be denser, so you might want to add a little extra buttermilk or reduce the amount of flour slightly to achieve the desired batter consistency.
How can I make these waffles dairy-free?
To make dairy-free waffles, replace the buttermilk with a non-dairy milk such as almond or soy milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar. Use a dairy-free butter substitute for the melted butter. This way, you can still enjoy the deliciousness of these waffles while accommodating dietary restrictions.
Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?
It's best to prepare the batter just before cooking the waffles for optimal texture. However, you can mix the wet ingredients and store them in the refrigerator for up to one day. Just add the dry ingredients and soda right before cooking to ensure they rise properly.
