Stack up these Classic Buttermilk Waffles for breakfast for the family! They are tender, not too rich, and perfectly crispy on the outside!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We made our favorite buttermilk waffles for breakfast and they never disappoint. Everyone loves the recipe so much so I figured it’s time to post for you guys!
WAFFLES:
Waffles are such a classic breakfast and brunch necessity. These waffles have an incredibly tasty golden brown exterior and have a soft, pillowy inside. I think my favorite part of waffles are the perfect pockets to hold peanut butter, maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, whip cream, and the list goes on!
Making waffles from scratch is 100% less intimidating than you may think. Or if you feel like it will be a hassle I am telling you this recipe is EASY PEASY.
My tip to making your waffles fluffy, restaurant-style waffles:
The secret is out: Whip the egg whites! This step cannot be skipped if you’re looking for big, pillowy waffles! Use a handheld or stand mixer to get he job done.
Not sure how to beat the egg whites? Take out your stand mixer or a hand mixer and beat the egg whites continuously until soft peaks form. Check for the soft peaks by turning over your whisk and looking for a peak shape, but one that is loose (not pointy).

Some of my favorite toppings include with powdered sugar, syrup, sliced fruit, and sometimes whipped cream for topping! These waffles make a hearty breakfast on their own, but, they are also great with savory sides like scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, or your favorite bacon!
- Peanut butter/almond butter/any nut butter
- Powdered sugar + maple syrup
- Fresh berries (such as raspberries and strawberries) with whipped cream
- Honey butter (melt honey + butter in a small saucepan on the stove, pour on top. Soo good with pancakes too!)
- Savory route: eggs, breakfast sausage, bacon.
How long do waffles last?
- These Classic Buttermilk waffles will last in the fridge up to 5 days in a sealed baggie. If you are not going to eat them all that soon, you can also freeze them! I love reheating them in the toasted or in the oven (But never in the microwave because they will get soggy that way!)
