Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk, shaken
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted, plus softened butter for serving
Cooking spray
Maple syrup and sliced fresh fruit, for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Fold into dry ingredients until just incorporated—do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.
- Spray a preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1/2 cup batter into middle of iron until completely covered. Cover and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer waffle to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve waffles hot topped with softened butter, syrup, and fruit.
