How to Make Crispy Buttermilk Waffles

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and 2 cups buttermilk.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the egg mixture to the batter and whisk until well combined.
  6. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Gently stir the batter to deflate it before each pour.
  9. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your waffle iron's instructions. This batter will rise more than baking powder batters.
  10. Cook until golden brown and crispy, following your waffle iron's instructions.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Leftovers can be cooled, frozen, and reheated on a wire rack in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
