Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make WAFFLES!

Chef Anna Olson makes shows you how to make amazing buttermilk waffles from scratch! These big, homemade waffles can be made with chocolate chips if you choose, and topped with maple syrup and fresh berries for garnish.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups (225 g) all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
1 Tbsp (9 g) baking powder
½ tsp (2.5 g) fine salt
1 ¼ cups (310 mL) buttermilk
½ cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
2 large eggs, separated
1 cup (175 g) chocolate chips (optional)
Maple syrup and fresh berries, for serving

Directions

1. For the waffles, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil and egg yolks together. Add this to the dry mixture and stir gently until blended (but, like pancake batter, a few lumps are OK).

2. In another bowl, whisk the 2 egg whites (by hand or with electric beaters) until they hold a soft peak when the whisk or beaters are lifted. Fold these gently into the batter. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.

3. Preheat your waffle iron according to instructions. Lightly grease the iron (if requested in the instructions) and ladle batter to fill the iron once closed (the first waffle is your test as to how much batter to use). Cook the waffle until lightly browned at crisp, and remove. Repeat with the remaining batter. You can make the waffles ahead of time and re-warm (oven, grill or toaster – not the microwave), since they are best served warm. Served drizzled with maple syrup and topped with fresh berries.

Best waffles ever. My family loves it. Taste even better when frozen and reheated. Thank you so much for this easy and yummy recipe.

I love how she has all her ingredients in her drawers

Thank you - made these this morning and worked beautifully - 4 minutes on our little electric double-iron. Used 2 bowls, one whisk - just after the whites were fluffy mixed the ingredients and folded the whites in and they kept their fluffiness all the way to the end of the batch.

I made these waffles over this past weekend. Best recipe I’ve made in years. Fluffy, tasty, light and everyone loved them.

Omg! Great recipe!

I added about 3 tsps of ground flax seeds and same amount of hemp seeds. I didn't have buttermilk so I used 1 cup of coconut milk and about 3 tsps of greek yogurt. I used about 1/3c melted butter instead of the 1/2c of oil and wow. My boyfriend thought they were the best Waffles ever! He ate two full waffles with two eggs and a sausage! They tasted amazing!

I have the Waring Pro Double Waffle Maker. Makes thick waffles with deep pockets. Excellent waffle maker! Easy to use. I've had it for years. It was one of the best Christmas presents I've ever received. 😊💕

I have tried several waffle recipes and this is the best one, yet. Thank you!

[jackiealv]

I made them this morning and both of my kids said “these are the best waffles you’ve ever made !”. Thanks for sharing this recipe
Forgot to mention that I added finely chopped pecans to batter

That "drizzle" of maple syrup was more like flooding 😂

[paulamarth]

Made these this morning and wow they were delicious and a huge hit!!!

[lynh.]

I trust her recipes, and was not mislead this time either! Beautiful, fluffy, light waffles they turned out to be.
I topped them with home-made chocolate sauce and lightly whipped cream. Yum indeed.

[roxld]

Gread video! I love how she has alot of the ingredients in her drawer. 😍

[etsegenetkidane]

Thank you for the awesome recipe me and my son made it, it's the best waffle recipe I've made so far.

[jcorbettlaw]

Just made waffles today using this recipe. They were delicious....crispy and flavorful. I doubled all ingredients (except sugar) and had enough for 8-9 total waffles that were about 6" diameter. This will be my go to recipe from now on

[offroad_adventures]

I love your recipes. You are direct and to the point in your method and also while you talk. I really love that. There are many others who keep on talking and talking and talking to a point where I just stop watching the video becoz they werent to the point. Thank you.

[texanpilot]

I tried this recipe this morning. I added lemon zest and the waffles came out awesome! Fresh whipped cream and Amerena cherries were my topping of choice.

[cosmicbodyguards]

Making them right now! They look yummy. My family keeps coming to the kitchen to ask when they’ll be ready lol. I used European butter instead of oil because I didn’t have any in stock. The butter clumped up once in the buttermilk mixture.
I then read online to mix the eggs & buttermilk first and it won’t clump.
Thank you!!

whipping the egg whites is a method of making many prepared batters light and smooth textured. Great pancakes.
