The Best Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles
Easy to make Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles recipe! These are my favorite waffles for breakfast because they’re so soft! I usually make a double batch of these to freeze for later!
Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles
You are going to want these waffles for breakfast. If you already ate breakfast you’re going to want to eat it again, or even better you’re going to want waffles for dinner. Personally I love breakfast for dinner so I say heat up the waffle maker and get the maple syrup out.
For many years my life was empty without a waffle maker. I added it to my cart on Amazon so many times but somehow talked myself out of buying it. I would see waffle recipe posts on all your lovely blogs and I would leave comments in shame, kicking myself for not buying that waffle maker.
But on my birthday this year I woke up to a candle in the middle of a pile of waffles at our table. I shouted “Waffles!”. Then it hit me, not only did Matthew make waffles for my birthday breakfast but they came from a waffle maker. I got a waffle maker, my world was happy again.
Since getting a waffle maker a few weeks ago we have made these fluffy buttermilk waffles so many times. We both declared them the best waffles ever so we don’t even want to try another recipe. They are extremely fluffy thanks to the buttermilk.
We love them so much I have been making big batches of them to freeze. Waffles freeze beautifully which means you can make a bunch at once, and then just heat them up for 1 minute when you’re groggy in the morning. Waffles, you rule.
How do you eat your waffles? A little maple syrup with a sprinkle of powdered sugar is the way I go. All this waffle talk sure left me hungry. I hope you enjoy these Buttermilk Waffles!
Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles
Easy to make Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles recipe! These are my favorite waffles for breakfast because they're so soft! I usually make a double batch of these to freeze for later!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons butter - melted
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Stir in buttermilk, melted butter and eggs. Stir until mixed completely. Your batter will appear thin but this is what we want.
- Pour 2/3 cup of batter into the middle of your waffle maker once heated.
- Close lid and cook 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe Notes
To freeze: Put in freezer bag. I like to put wax paper in between each waffle so they don't freeze together. When ready to eat, just take out of the freezer and put in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
I love breakfast for dinner too! And I would totally eat this anytime of the day. I love a good fluffy waffles. YUM! 🙂
I was JUST telling my mom how we need to get a waffle maker up in this house! I’m tired of pancakes! These look soooo good!
Everyone should have a go-to waffle recipe! Ugh, you’re right about the waffle iron investment… I’ve only held back because I haven’t been settled down in one place for more than a year, but as soon as I get back to London I think I’ll bite the bullet.
I’m a huge sucker for fluffy and airy waffles!! These are divine 😀
That was so sweet of Matthew – sweetest bday present ever and yay for a waffle maker! We love fluffy waffles and these look perfect and super fluffy! Hope you have a great week Pamela!
Now I want a waffle maker!
Perfection. I too wonder how I went so many years without a waffle maker!
I didn’t realize how much my life needed a waffle maker until I got one either. and now we’re inseparable. I need to try your waffles! I’ve only made fancy waffles and never just a plainer, standard go-to kind of recipe. Must change that.
That man is a keeper, Pamela! What a total sweetheart to make you waffles for breakfast with your new waffle maker! Such a sweet gesture. We adore waffles in our house and yours look phenomenally good! (We’ve been using Christopher Kimball’s recipe from his book, The Cook’s Bible, since the early 1990s.) Life just isn’t complete without weekend breakfasts and brunches with buttermilk waffles! You photos are fabulous and we can’t wait to make your recipe. Thanks for sharing, girl!
Waffles are my absolutely favorite breakfast. Hands down. I love savory ones but the classic buttermilk are truly the best. And you’re right. I now need second breakfast. 🙂
Yayyy for you!!! I don’t know how I’d live sans waffle maker, they’re so awesome! These waffles look SOOO delicious and fluffy omgeee I want em now!
What an awesome birthday surprise, Pamela! I totally understand that whole ‘put it in the amazon cart but not buy’ thing with the waffle maker (same with a small blow torch). I’m devoted to the waffles at a nearby diner and feel like I should just pop in there for my fix. I rationalize that I don’t have a great waffle recipe anyway but now you’re weakening my resolve! Buttermilk pancakes are probably my favorite and this recipe and these waffles look amazing! Enjoy your waffle maker and all the amazing-ness sure to come from it!
Pamela,
This post literally made my mouth water. The photos alone would suffice, they are so appealing. Our boys love waffles, and I grew up with maple syrup on virtually everything. The buttermilk component just puts these into a top tier recipe. Thanks for sharing this one!
One of my favorite memories is coming home to my parents’ house during the holidays years ago and staying with them for a few days and my dad making waffles in the morning. Best smell to wake up to! (even better than coffee brewing, in my opinion)
These look like they have a great texture – that crunchy outside and soft inside that can be quite hard to achieve! (I’ve made plenty of “soggy” waffles in my day.) Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
My husband would love this for the dinner! They look super fluffy and great!
It took me so long to convince myself that I needed a waffle iron, and now I’m obsessed with it! These look amazing!
Thanks for linking these up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Oh gosh. Now I want waffles! And I actually have all the ingredients to make these; so I might have to soon!
I need to make these for dinner, that’s all.
They couldn’t look any better, I’m drooling. What a lovely birthday present, you lucky girl! 😉
SO perfect! 🙂
Pamela! You couldn’t have posted this at a more appropriate time!! My husband was looking through one of his sportsmans magazines, and found this waffle iron that has a buck’s head that would be imprinted on the waffle. He brought the magazine into the kitchen, and asked me if it was something that I might be interested in. I laughed, first because my husband and I are complete opposites… he is a country boy, loves to hunt…etc etc…. I’m a city girl, and love the arts… and am not into camouflage or deer heads. And second, because I was touched that he could find something in his “genre” (for lack of a better word…) that I just might like. So, we ordered it, and the deer head waffle iron will take residence at our cabin.
I will have to print up your recipe, show it to him, in reciprocation that in my “genre” I found something for him to go with the waffle iron that he found for me in his “genre”. haha!!
This is perfect… and they look so yummy.. and I love the fact that Matthew did that for you. It makes me happy… <3
Your story made me laugh, can you please send me a photo of deer head printed waffles? Please!
What a fantastic birthday present! Great present for a baker:) We always put syrup and powdered sugar on our waffles, too. I will take waffles over pancakes and french toast any day of the week and these fluffy ones nailed the texture. Craving a big stack now!
I love them with syrup and bananas!!! I am loving how the waffles are soaking up the syrup! Yummy 🙂
Love waffles! Will definitely have to try this recipe out 🙂 Glad he got a chance to surprise you with the wafflemaker.
This looks like the PERFECT waffle. I am longing for a weekend off work to sleep in and eat waffles….I don’t think that will happen until January hahaha boooo
I know the feeling. 🙁 Hope you get some time to sleep in and eat those waffles!
My husband and I recently got the waffle attachment for our Panini press. Best.decision.ever! But I hadn’t yet found a perfect waffle recipe. I’ll definitely be trying this one.
And I love that your were surprised with both waffles and a waffle maker on your birthday. Now, that’s my find of gift!
Mmmmmmmm,…..lovely looking waffels. Yummmm!
Mmmm waffles. Growing up, if you can believe it, I actually liked waffles with PB&J on them. I know, super weird.
Beautiful photos! Reminds me I need to bring out my waffle maker!
Peanut butter on waffles sounds pretty delicious, I might have to try that!
i love waffles and on a whim we bought waffle maker but it is so underutilized. I need a reminder every now and then to dust it and use it. Thanks dear.
What a great present! I love waffles so much. I have a square waffle maker but I really really want a circle waffle maker. For some reason my brain thinks waffles taste better in circle form. I’ve been drooling over the KA waffle maker that bakes two at a time.
Two at a time would blow my mind!
You are right! I want to make these for breakfast! In Norway people love waffles, so when I visited my friend earlier this year, she made a beautiful batch. These both sound and look amazing!
OH these shots are amazing! I’m impressed by your photography, just stunning. I definitely need to buy a waffle maker 🙂
Your photos are gorgeous! My waffle maker is ancient and doesn’t work very well, and this reminds me that I should get a new one. These waffles look so crisp and still fluffy! Powdered sugar is the way to go.
I love breakfast for dinner and now I waaaant these! Tonight!
Have a great dinner!
How cute of him to make waffles for your on your bday… Not to mention a parting gift of the waffle maker itself! I love waffles. You may think I’m weird, but I like it with butter on top and maple syrup on the side. I dunk each bite into the syrup…yup, I have texture issues. 😉
I like the idea of dipping into the syrup, I might have to try that.
Love me some fluffy buttermilk waffles!
Oh, I love waffles SO much and yours look amazing. Love that first picture – too gorgeous!
Gah! I don’t own a waffle iron! Now I’m totally kicking myself. Maybe I’ll get lucky and Santa will bring me one this year!
Never mind breakfast Pamela… I want them NOW! My girls are sitting on the floor in front of me doing crafts and I said, “Girls, tomorrow morning we’re making waffles!” To which they replied, “We have waffles in the freezer.” “WHAT? You’re going to pass on homemade waffles for those yucky ones?” They now see my point. 🙂
You are the best! It’s going to be a wonderful morning! Enjoy!
I love buttermilk pancakes, so I don’t know why I’ve never had buttermilk waffles!! My husband is the waffle maker in our house, I’m printing this out for him 🙂
Pamela, your waffels look so deliciously fluffy, we want them NOW! The photos are gorgeous and very tempting. Can’t wait to try your recipe and drizzle the waffels with Pinot-Raspberry Syrup:)
Cheers,
J+C
I love waffles any time of day, and these look just perfectly light and fluffy!
I have a waffle maker which we seldom use but when I do make waffles I eat mine with maple syrup 🙂
Now all I want is waffles! And it’s 10 at night! These seriously look so good. I need to dig out my waffle maker and get a batch started!
gorgeous,fluffy and addictive waffles…what else can one ask for breakfast…lovely dish 🙂
I think I’m gonna have to dig out my waffle machine. Tasty, tasty pics!
You’ve convinced me with this recipe that I need to buy a waffle maker…. now… and make breakfast again… now 😉
I have been craving homemade waffles lately, and your post is convincing me that I need to pull out the waffle iron this weekend and make some! These look delicious – perfect for a weekend breakfast.
what fun! I think I need a waffle maker too – they look simply gorgeous!

Oh, my! These waffles look fluffy and quite mouthwatering!!! I’d eat a whole stack by myself.
After a breakfast of “Reese’s” oatmeal, you have me drooling over these waffles!
These looks so gobble worthy!
Oh my gosh. Okay. Dude, I have not eaten breakfast yet.
And now I’m starving! These look insane in a totally good way.
Pinning!
I do the whole ‘add waffle maker to cart, remove waffle maker from cart’ thing on amazon too. But dammit, it’s christmas and I want one! (Especially after seeing these)
You deserve it girl!
We love waffles in our household, but I never know what recipe to use…so thank you! I ‘ve made pumpkin ones and chocolate (oh man were those good) but needed just a standard one. Can’t wait to try!
A big big fan of waffles, we have it almost everyday and I cannot wait to try your recipe out and I am positive it’s the best out there.
The pictures are gorgeous.
Hmm, let’s see. It’s cold, it’s raining… I think I need to make waffles for dinner! They look so perfect!
Happy belated birthday! Your guy is pretty sweet for getting you a waffle maker and making you waffles for your b-day. They look terrific! Bookmarked this recipe because my kids LOVE waffles.
I love using my waffle maker and I am always looking for new waffle recipes, so this is perfect! Can’t wait to make a big batch of these and freeze them for the week.
Oh how I love waffles! These look so perfect. *Hungrrrrrry!
Ha! I’m in the same boat (or should I say was in the same boat). I’ve been wanting a waffle maker too and keep not getting one. Your significant other is so super cute making you waffles with your birthday gift (happy belated btw!).
I should probably buy one so I can make some of your awesomely delicious-sounding waffles =)
I love waffles – but my waffle maker is in the back of a cabinet so it rarely comes out! I need to get over that and just go dig it out more often! I always like to do breakfast for dinner but my husband hates it … boooo. These waffles look great!
Wish I had had this recipe last weekend when I had buttermilk!
I could eat waffles all day, I love them, I’ll take a waffle over pancakes. Going to take your recipe and tweek it using pumpkin and buckwheat and see how they turn out. I’m inspired.
I agree, I love a good fluffy buttermilk waffle. A waffle maker was one of the first things I bought when I moved into my own apartment after college and I still have the same one today.
Yum, love the look of your waffles! Definitely better than the frozen kind. I’ve also considered getting a waffle maker many times, but with so little space, I didn’t want more clutter. But maybe someday… Your waffles could make buying a waffle maker worth it 🙂
I’ve been meaning to buy a waffle maker myself! But every time I end up spending my savings from my monthly allowance on useless stuff! -_- Not anymore! I.AM.BUYING.A.WAFFLE.MAKER.PERIOD! These look sooooo fluffy and plump! Perfect for breakfast! {or any meal of the day actually! 😀 }
These waffles look *amazing* Pamela! Can’t wait to try them. I love your photo with the syrup pouring, gorgeous.
And thanks for the comment on my blog, because now I’ve found your blog! Can’t wait to see what you cook up next : )
I love waffles! ( and pancakes ) they are my favorite breakfast ( and dinner ) food! =)
Your recipe sounds delicious! Im glad you finally got a waffle maker!!!
Pinning to my Breakfast Board to try soon!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. =)
Oh wow!!! These photos look sooooo (really soooooo) good!!! Xx
These waffles look fantastic, fluffy is right! I can imagine them dripping with maple syrup, I know I would definitely enjoy them 🙂
Great recipe!
Cheers

my waffle maker seized up last winter
I was very sad
still haven’t gotten a new one, which is a blessing and a curse really
My waffle maker says you need to get a new one so they can be friends! 🙂
These waffles DO look amazing and fluffy – yum! Pinned!
Pamela, I actually do the same thing with my Amazon cart…always changing my mind. (Sometimes, daily on there. hehe) I LOVE my waffle maker. I use it every single week. I make a batch of waffles for my kids, wrap them individually for them to nuke in the morning before school. Works and taste sooooo much better than the store bought waffles, right? I was just thinking the other day that I’ve had my waffle iron for almost 16 years! (Always keep it seasoned.) But, I’m sure you already know that. (=
These look perfect, Pamela! I have been needing a good waffle recipe, and this is it 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
I was just looking for a waffle recipe – these look a-ma-zing! I am absolutely addicted to waffles but rarely make them as I haven’t found the right recipe yet. Could this be it? (dusts waffle maker)
Just found this – I’m doing some ‘catching up’! I was really, really in the mood for waffles recently…. then realized I’d brought my waffle maker to our Pocono house. I think I’m gonna have to put out a ‘Hey, I could use another waffle maker’ comment to my sons… great Christmas idea. Going to pin this… as always!

These have become my family staple waffle recipe on Sunday mornings! Just made them again today and wish I would have made more!
Sounds like the perfect weekend breakfast!
I personally use a little more buttermilk and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract! This recipe is the best waffles recipe though hands down. I would recommend to all!
