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
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk, apple cider, melted butter, and beaten egg. Whisk until the batter is smooth, thick, and airy, ensuring it’s lump-free by whisking a few additional times if needed.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Grease or spray your waffle iron as needed and heat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions until ready to use.
- Cook Waffles: Ladle about one cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are crisp on the edges and cooked through, adjusting time depending on your waffle iron.
- Keep Warm and Serve: For best texture, serve waffles immediately. If needed, keep them warm by placing in a single layer on a cookie sheet in a warm oven. Serve topped with butter and maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- Use a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat pastry flour for a lighter texture.
- Adjust the amount of apple cider slightly based on batter consistency if needed.
- Waffles are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in the oven for a short time.
- Maple syrup and butter complement the flavors but can be substituted with fruit compote or yogurt.
- Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated for even cooking and crispy edges.
