Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 238kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk* store-bought or see how to make buttermilk
- ¾ cup milk whole milk is best
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron.
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Add the buttermilk, milk and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just combined.
- Cook waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions, until crisp and golden. Waffles are usually done when just a small amount of steam is left escaping from the sides of the waffle iron. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree F oven (on a cooling rack placed on a baking sheet) while you cook the rest of the waffles.
Notes
- This recipe makes 6 large waffles in my Belgian waffle maker, which is enough to serve 8 people. The number of waffles you are able to make will depend on the size of your waffle iron.
- You may substitute 2 cups whole milk in place of the buttermilk and milk. You'll need less liquid overall if using all milk because it is thinner than buttermilk.
- Waffles freeze well. Let cool completely on a cooling rack. Store, wrapped airtight, in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat frozen waffles, first thaw on the counter or in the microwave on low power. Then warm the waffles in a toaster on low power or on a wire rack set atop a baking sheet in a 250° F oven, for about 5 minutes, until warm and crisp to the touch.
