Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour (all purpose, whole wheat pastry, or a combination)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk, apple cider, melted butter, and beaten egg. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth, thick, and free of lumps.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Grease or spray your waffle iron to prevent sticking and preheat it until it’s ready for use.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour about one cup of batter into the waffle iron. Cook the waffles for 4 to 5 minutes or until the edges are crisp, adjusting time based on your waffle iron’s settings.
- Serve: Serve the waffles immediately for the best texture, topped with butter and maple syrup. If needed, keep waffles warm in a single layer on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Notes
- Using whole wheat pastry flour adds a nutty flavor and slightly more fiber while keeping waffles tender.
- Waffles are best served fresh but can be kept warm in the oven set to low heat if necessary.
- Adjust apple cider quantity slightly if batter is too thick or thin for your waffle iron.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with a plant-based milk and vinegar, and use vegan butter.
