Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, or more as needed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add egg, vanilla and buttermilk to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
  3. Mix until just blended. It's ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Add more buttermilk as needed if the batter is too thick.
  4. Heat a waffle iron and spray or brush with oil. Pour batter into waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer instructions.
  5. Remove waffle from waffle iron. Serve with maple syrup, fruit, nuts, or yogurt.

Notes

  • Buttermilk can vary in thickness, depending on how fresh it is. Start with 1 1/4 cups, adding more as needed if your batter is very thick.
  • Be careful not to over-mix, as this will make tough waffles.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients if you'd like.
  • If you'd like to add chocolate chips, blueberries or other add-ins, add them to the batter after you pour it onto the waffle iron, before you close it.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated in the toaster.
