Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • Blueberries, rinsed (1 cup)
  • Raspberries (½ cup)
  • Banana slices (1 medium banana)
  • Honey or maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream or Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • Lemon curd or fruit preserves (optional)
  • Optional extras: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), shredded coconut flakes, dark chocolate chips or shaved chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle maker for about 5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; mix gently.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir with a spatula just until combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick spray or melted butter.
  6. Pour about ¾ cup (180 ml) batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Close lid and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F or 95°C) to keep crisp while finishing the batch.
  8. Wash and slice fresh berries and bananas while waffles cook. Arrange toppings on a board or in small bowls.
  9. Serve warm waffles alongside toppings, letting everyone customize their bites.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Use room temperature ingredients for even cooking. Keep waffles warm on a wire rack in a warm oven to maintain crispness. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk; if too thin, add a pinch of flour. For gluten-free option, substitute flour with almond or oat flour. Leftover waffles freeze well and reheat crisply in toaster or oven.
