Equipment

Waffle iron (Belgian-style recommended for deeper pockets)
1 Large mixing bowl
1 Medium mixing bowl
1 Measuring cups and spoons
1 Whisk
1 Rubber spatula
1 Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter:

2 cups cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups real buttermilk, well-shaken
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparing the Waffle Batter

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined - some small lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing as this can make your waffles tough.

Cooking the Waffles

Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray if recommended by manufacturer.
Pour appropriate amount of batter onto the heated waffle iron (usually about ¾ cup, but this varies by waffle maker).
Close lid and cook until the steam stops and waffles are golden brown (approximately 3-5 minutes).
Remove carefully using a fork or tongs to avoid scratching the waffle iron surface.
