These buttermilk waffles have a crisp outside and a soft interior. I adore the outcomes this produces without having to separate the eggs or spend time whipping egg whites! For a quick breakfast on the go, reheat these in the toaster.

Great recipe, my wife and I loved it
This waffle batter was a breeze to whip up. As I am one to have a preference to a thicker batter I could tell I was going.to.need to drop one of the liquids down. I chose to drop the butter to 1/4 c and it was perfect for us. They fluffed up great and have a great tasty. Will definitely make these again.
Loved it! I also doubled it, but didn’t have double the buttermilk so I subbed with half buttermilk half, half and half. Worked well. Everyone loved them. Definitely keeping this recipe
Lightly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Excellent recipe and will be my go-to waffle recipe from here out.
I whipped these up this morning (a school day at that) and they were easy and delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and the only slight change I made was to add a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. Everyone in the house loved them, even my disgusted who isn’t so keen on waffles. This recipe is a keeper!
I, too, loved the fact that the eggs don’t require separating! Maybe I’ll make waffles more often now that I found a recipe this easy. But probably not, since it still takes a while to cook a batch in the iron 🙂 The batter was a great consistancy and made great waffles!
Beautifully airy, light and tender inside, with a nice crisp outside. Very easy, will def make again! Made 10 square waffles, need to increase for a crowd or hungry teenagers!
Made these this morning they came out so yummy I made a mango and blueberry topping for them…so delicious
This is a super-easy recipe, not much more work than the premixed boxed versions. I may have accidentally doubled the vanilla, which isn’t a bad thing. Next time I may sub a little flax seed meal or whole wheat flour for some of the white flour. It made six 8” round waffles.
Excellent recipe. I substituted 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour with whole heat. Enjoyed these waffles very much. I experimented and substituted 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour with whole wheat for a little added nutrition and body. May add more next time. I found that getting the waffles to medium brown resulted in extremely internally tender waffles. If I went beyond that they could lose too much moisture and become tough. This will be a go-to recipe.
Wow, delicious and super easy to make. I make breakfast for kids every weekend and my oldest said these were the best waffles EVER 🙂
Really good basic recipe. Will be easy to make additions to. Will try separating a bit next time and adding more sugar and cocoa to make a swirl.
My family love these waffles! For a little bit of backstory: My parents love having Eggo waffles as part of their breakfast rotation. After having half a carton of buttermilk left and not knowing what to do with it, I looked for the easiest recipe with the pantry staples I had on hand. These waffles came into play. I made a batch of these and cooked them on my Dash mini waffle maker, then left them in the freezer and labeled them “homemade eggos”. My parents loved them, and immediately asked for more with different flavours! I’ve made these using chocolate chips, dried blueberries, freeze dried strawberry powder, and cinnamon, and all have turned out amazing! They heat up incredibly quickly and well in the toaster oven also!
Excellent! It goes together fast and it’s nice to not have to beat the egg whites. Tastes great!
I made this recipe exactly as is (except double vanilla because I love vanilla), and was watching to see if it would be too thin as one reviewer mentioned, but found it actually a little too thick, and as a result my first batch of waffles were a bit to doughy. But after that I spread them more around my very old fashioned rectangle waffle maker before I closed it and made sure to fully cook them and they were really delicious! Served them with sliced bananas and warm maple syrup. Look forward to toasting the leftovers
Nothing fancy, I followed the recipe verbatim and this produced a nice basic waffle. Next time I might add some maple syrup to batter instead of the white sugar or a hint of nutmeg. I surely will use the recipe again!
These waffles are sooooooo good. Made them for my son and his 6 kids. Everyone loved them!
My favorite go to recipe. I didn’t change anything.
I used buttermilk whole milk and 3 jumbo egges and they were fantastic.
Best waffle recipe I have tried! I did add some strawberry yogurt and chopped up strawberries because I was making it for my mother. They are awesome, perfect!
This is our go-to waffle recipe! I now make it from memory, and I thought I was following the recipe exactly, but I just realized that I actually double the vanilla when I make it 🙂 It’s delicious with doubled vanilla, haha! I also like to let the batter rest maybe 2-3 minutes after everything is mixed before I cook the waffles sometimes.
