Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, lightly beaten eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough waffles.
4
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if necessary. Pour about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the hot waffle iron (amount varies by waffle iron size) and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3-5 minutes.
5
While waffles cook, prepare the berry syrup: In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the berries break down, about 5-7 minutes. Mash some berries with a fork for a chunkier syrup, or strain for a smoother one.
6
Serve the warm waffles immediately, topped generously with the homemade berry syrup. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make waffles crispy?

Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding batter. Don't open the iron too early; let the steam subside. Using a good quality waffle iron and the correct amount of fat in the batter (like butter) helps. For extra crispiness, you can place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving.

What if I don't have buttermilk?

You can easily make a substitute: for every cup of buttermilk, combine 1 cup of regular milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles slightly, then use as directed.

Can I freeze leftover waffles?

Yes! Allow cooked waffles to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and store for up to 1-2 months. Reheat in a toaster, toaster oven, or conventional oven until crisp and warm.
