How to Make Good Eats Chocolate Chip Waffles Alton Brown

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Add 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients and whisk gently to combine.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in lighter waffles.
  6. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly spray the grids with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron.
  8. Cook according to the waffle iron's instructions (usually 3-5 minutes), until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, fresh fruit, or maple syrup.
