Lazy Sunday Buttermilk Waffles for a Slow Morning

Set out all purpose flour, salt, and sugar before you start Lazy Sunday Buttermilk Waffles for a Slow Morning. The batch is written for 10 waffles.

Count on 10 minutes of prep, 20 minutes of cooking, about 30 minutes from the first measurement to the plate.

Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste
• 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg omit if you only have ground
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs slightly beaten
• 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ½ -2 teaspoons brandy

How the cooking goes

1. Preheat your waffle iron. Mine is completely non-stick so you don’t need to spray it with Pam or brush it with oil, but if you do, then make sure you have that ready!
2. Whisk together flour, salt, sugar, soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and keep it to one side.
3. Stir together buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla, and brandy in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until no lumps remain. If your batter is too thick, you can loosen it with some buttermilk as needed. It will thicken as it sits, so feel free to add more as you go along. The batter should be thick enough to slowly pour off the spoon but not so thick that it clumps. Be careful when adding extra buttermilk because you don’t want it to be too runny!
4. Tip approximately ½ cup of batter into each Belgium waffle square or follow the manufacture instructions for your particular waffle iron. Close the lid, wait 3-5 minutes depending on your iron and your desired level of doneness. {You can always peek after 2 minutes. the Dad did this and he is the waffle master…so there’s that}.
5. Serve immediately or you can keep them warm in a slow oven or warming drawer.

After it comes off the heat

Give the plate the rest the method asks for. Cover leftovers and refrigerate them when the dish includes meat, eggs, or dairy.
