Equipment: Digital Scale (preferred), Waffle Iron, 2 Medium/Large Mixing Bowls, Measuring Cups and Spoons, Whisk, Cooling Rack, Receiving Plate or Platter (I like to warm mine in the oven)

Before You Dive In – Prep: Please Read!

• Make buttermilk: Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Set aside.
• Melt and cool the butter. If using the microwave, melt the butter for 20-30 seconds and then cool for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacture instructions, and grease or spray with non-stick spray if necessary.

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.

Step 2: In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Add the buttermilk (milk and vinegar) and the melted butter. Whisk until combined.

Step 3: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated, and well mixed.

Step 4: Spoon batter by 1/3 cup onto the preheated waffle iron (add more or less as needed for your equipment,) and cook each waffle to your perfection.

Step 5: Transfer waffles to a cooling rack (this will help to maintain crispness) or a warm receiving plate. Top with your favorites and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
