Notes

Waffle maker: If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can still make this recipe using a griddle pan. Just grease the pan before pouring in the batter. I picked up this tip from Jamie Oliver’s pan waffle recipe. Essentially, you’ll be making griddle pan waffles. Feel free to divide the waffles into portions or serve them whole.
Batter: Be careful not to overmix your waffle batter. To keep your waffles fluffy and light, stop mixing while there are still some lumps in the batter.
Buttermilk: If you’re making buttermilk from scratch, combine 1.5 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice with 1.5 cups of whole milk. Stir and let it stand for 15 minutes before using it in the recipe.
