Equipment
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Waffle maker
- Ladle or measuring cup (for pouring batter)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plain flour)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 medium eggs
- 6-8 drops pink food coloring
Optional Toppings
- chocolate syrup (for optional garnish)
- fresh berries (for optional garnish)
- whipped cream (for optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons caster sugar, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, eggs, and pink food coloring until smooth.½ cup unsalted butter, 1¾ cups buttermilk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 medium eggs, 6-8 drops pink food coloring
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine- avoid overmixing.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and helps create lighter waffles.
- While the batter is resting, preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once heated, lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron (about 1 cup of batter depending on the size of your waffle maker).
- Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions. For most waffle irons, this will take about 4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately topped with chocolate syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.chocolate syrup
Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles dense instead of light and fluffy.
- Resting the batter matters. Allowing the batter to sit helps create softer waffles.
- Grease the waffle iron if needed. Even non-stick waffle makers sometimes benefit from a light spray.
- Keep waffles warm. Place cooked waffles on a baking tray in a low oven (90°C / 200°F) while finishing the rest.
- Adjust the color. Add more or less food coloring depending on how vibrant you want the waffles.
- Make it extra indulgent. Try adding chocolate chips to the batter for an extra treat.
