Crispy Buttermilk Waffles
 
 
Makes about 6 waffles (using a Belgian waffle iron)
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (see notes*)
  • ¼ cup coconut or vegetable oil (see notes**)
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ teaspoons sugar
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, egg and sugar; mix well.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until smooth. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat a waffle iron. Follow the directions on your waffle iron to cook the waffles; you do not need to grease the iron as the oil in the batter will allow the waffles to easily release. Serve immediately, or set aside to cool and freeze for later.
Notes
*I rarely buy buttermilk because it's so easy to make with ingredients you likely have on hand. Just pour 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar in a measuring cup and add enough milk to hit the 1-cup line. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes until curdled.
**The original recipe calls for vegetable oil but I swapped in coconut oil, which lends a slightly nutty flavor.
