Homemade Waffles and Buttermilk Syrup

Author: Jenn

Equipment

  • 1 waffle maker

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 egg yolks (reserve the whites)
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup canola oil

Homemade Buttermilk Syrup

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cube butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. baking soda

Instructions

  • WAFFLES: In a large bowl, mix together: flour, milk, baking powder, salt and oil.
  • In a small bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites, adding the yolks to the mixture in the large bowl. Whip egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff.
  • Fold egg whites into waffle mixture and break down big clumps. Cook on the waffle iron.
  • SYRUP: Combine the sugar, butter and *buttermilk together in a medium size pot *if you don’t happen to have buttermilk on hand – which I almost never do – mix 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes to create your own sour milk.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Add the vanilla extract and baking soda. Let cool and pour into a serving dish or Mason jar to serve with your waffles.

Notes

*if you don’t happen to have buttermilk on hand –  mix 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes to create your own sour milk.
