2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
2 cups + ¼ cup buttermilk
½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted
1 cup blueberries

Waffle maker used

Cuisinart Waffle maker

Instructions

Pre heat waffle iron.
Mix first 3 ingredients (flour, baking powder and baking soda) in a large bowl and set aside.
Place eggs into another medium bowl, whisk to combine and then add buttermilk and melted butter. Whisk until mixed well. pour into the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until almost combined (you will see a few dry pockets of flour).
Stir in blueberries, until mixed in (DON'T STIR TOO MUCH, mix just until you don't see any dry flour and blueberries are distributed evenly).
Make waffles according to manufactures instructions ( the amount of batter per waffle depends on your waffle iron. I used about ½ cup batter for each waffle) and cook until deep brown (it took about 6 minutes in my waffle iron).
Serve waffles hot with softened salted butter, maple syrup and fresh blueberries.

Notes

Color – Cook waffles until they get a deep brown for GUARANTEED CRISPNESS! It took 6 minutes in my waffle iron.

Don’t over mix – As with all baking recipes, DO NO OVER MIX the batter

Make it healthier – Replace half the all purpose flour with almond flour. It makes it lighter, crispier and even more delicious.

Stir in some lemon zest – Add some finely grated lemon zest for a brighter twist.

Fresh or frozen blueberries? Both works! Frozen blueberries tend to bleed due to higher moisture content. If using frozen berries, stir them frozen into the batter, just before you begin cooking.

How to make Buttermilk – If you are out of buttermilk, then here is a really good method to make your own in a pinch – Mix 2 cups milk and 6 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it stand for about 10 minutes. Stir before using.

How to freeze leftover Waffles?

I usually make a double batch of this recipe, place cooled waffles in a ziplock bag and freeze for several weeks. My favorite way to re heat them is to pop one or two in a bread toaster, until hot and crisp. Great for weekday mornings!

How to keep waffles warm?

Place cooked waffles on a wire rack lined baking sheet and keep in a 200° F oven, until serving time. The wire rack will ensure air circulation around the waffles, maintaining the crispness.
