Buttermilk Waffles - American Independence Edition

Go-to waffle recipe, via Alton Brown. Jazzed up for the 4th.



  • This makes way more than we need, so we usually divide the recipe in half.
  • We also like to sub some cornmeal in for flour (usually about 1/2 cup)
 
For the Waffles:
4 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1 cup
4 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1 cup
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 T sugar
3 whole eggs, beaten
2 ounces unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces buttermilk, room temperature


Make the pancakes: 
  • Mix dry ingredients.
  • Whisk eggs and melted butter, and then add buttermilk. 
  • Mix wet and dry
  • Allow to sit for 5 minutes to set up.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto heated Belgian waffle maker.
  • Drip 2-3 red, and 2-3 blue drops of food coloring on batter. Swirl with fork.
  • Serve with syrup, yogurt, or a combination of the two.
