Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups pastry flour or 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pecan meal or almond flour, optional, for flavor
Directions
Step 1 –In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Step 2 –In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pecan meal.
Step 3 –Combine the wet and dry ingredient mixtures, stirring until nearly smooth, with a few small lumps remaining.
Step 4 –Cover the bowl containing the batter with plastic wrap.
Step 5 –Refrigerate the batter for 10 minutes; this step helps the gluten in the batter relax and helps the waffles become extra fluffy.
Step 6 –Spray a waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray before preheating it.
Step 7 –Preheat the waffle iron.
Step 8 –Cook the waffles according to the waffle iron directions, about 2-3 minutes per waffle.
