Preparation

Step 1

Preheat waffle maker. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk in the buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar (if desired) until blended. In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine the wet and dry ingredients; mix well.

Pour batter into a preheated prepared waffle iron; cook according to manufacturer’s directions or when steam stops.  Top with maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, or fresh fruit preserves

You can add in additional ingredients such as: 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, dash of cinnamon, or whatever you’d like

Makes 4 cups of batter or 5 waffles

If I wanted to use regular milk (out of buttermilk, whoops!) what would I have to change to make this recipe work?

To make buttermilk, simply add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice for every one cup of milk, then let it sit for 5 minutes to create buttermilk!

Just made these and tasty tasty is all I can say! Super easy to mix up and my 3 year old is devouring them :O) We chopped up some fresh strawberries and mixed them with a little brown sugar. A.Maz.Ing!!!!! Your Grandma knows what she’s doing!

I knew before I read the article that your grandma was Puerto Rican! Her face reminds me of my mother, both my parents are Puerto Rican and have been married for 61 years. I have a love for cooking and baking just like my mom and I’m adding your recipe to a must try! Thank you for a great story
