Whole Wheat Buttermilk Waffles
Wholesome, buttermilk waffles lightly sweetened with brown sugar for a beautiful breakfast.
Servings: 8 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons millet, optional
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces, optional
Instructions
- Lightly grease the waffle iron and heat according to the iron's directions. (I usually preheat mine to medium-high.)
- Combine the flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and millet (if using) in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
- Tempter a small amount of buttermilk mixture into the melted butter and whisk with a fork to combine. Then pour the butter into the buttermilk mixture and whisk thoroughly.PRO TIP: Tempering a small amount of the cold buttermilk into the warm melted butter evens the temperature and creates an emulsification that prevents the butter from seizing into small, shard-like bits when added to the buttermilk mixture. That said, if the butter does seize, do not worry about it.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the liquid into the center and stir to combine. Do not over-mix the batter.
- Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's directions. It will probably take about 7 minutes, give or take, for them to fully cook and become golden brown.
