The best waffles boast crisp, golden brown edges with light and airy middles. This is my go-to waffle recipe for busy mornings and lazy Saturdays!
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60g) sour cream
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk Note 1
- 2 cups (285g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) club soda Note 2
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Equipment
- waffle iron
- mixing bowl
- Wire rack
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and buttermilk.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until barely combined.
- Stir in the club soda and melted butter. Don’t mix it until smooth, the batter should be lumpy.
- Let the batter sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the waffle iron.
- Drop the appropriate amount of batter into the hot waffle iron. (I used ¼ cup of batter for a 4-inch waffle maker.) Cook the waffles until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked waffles onto a wire rack and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
Note 1: Buttermilk substitute: Mix 1 ½ cups sour cream with ½ cup of water.
Note 2: You may use unflavored sparkling water in place of club soda. Tonic water made the waffles slightly bitter note.
Storing Tips:
- Let the waffles cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- I recommend storing the waffles in the freezer so they don't dry out, then reheating in a toaster or toaster oven until hot and crispy.
- Never reheat waffles in the microwave, lest you ruin their beloved texture. They will lose their crisp edges and get soft/chewy.
