BUTTERMILK WAFFLES RECIPE
This old fashioned buttermilk waffles recipe is one of the best breakfast meals around. While I tend to wax poetically over pancakes a lot on my blog, I truly do have a love for waffles, especially these. I truly think this is the best buttermilk waffles recipe on the web, possibly the best waffle recipe ever!
MY LOVE FOR BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
My love for buttermilk waffles didn’t begin during my childhood. As a youth, my breakfasts were mostly composed of bacon, scrambled eggs, grits and toast. When I got to college, my three best friends and I would frequent a diner for dinner that served breakfast 24 hours a day. It was our late night spot filled with glass displays of classic layer cakes and pies.
At this diner, we would chat about classes (fun fact: we were all film majors) and eat breakfast pancakes and buttermilk waffles at 11 pm, 12 midnight and sometimes later. Some of my favorite memories from college were at this diner. Talking about life, love, goals, classes, crazy professors and the future with your best gal pals never gets old, even now. After being out of college for over 10 years now, I realize how important those moments were to the shaping of me. Even now, I can’t wait to go to brunch with my girlfriends to catch up.
I am so grateful for those times and the memories that accompany them. This buttermilk waffles recipe is an ode to my college gals who passed the syrup during those late nights ten years ago while making me laugh at the same time. They are perfectly crispy and golden brown on the outside and beautifully tender and doughy on the inside. Plus don’t forget that amazing buttermilk flavor throughout! If you love buttermilk waffles, these are the ones for you.

Hooray I’m so glad!!
Hi! these look beautiful, how many will i get from this recipe?
Hi Maciek, it will depend on your waffle maker. What kind do you have?
I had the best waffles at a diner once . They were soft and fluffy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the edges. Are these like that? They look beautiful and delicious. =)
Yep these are totally like that Patsy. Diner breakfasts are awesome.
Aren’t those college or single years of sharing with your girlfriends just so precious? Especially when those friendships carry on over the years. And even more especially when food is involved! When I visited New York many years ago, one of my favourite experiences was going to a traditional diner for breakfast and being presented with all those amazing choices … how would you like your eggs, bread, potatoes, pancakes, coffee etc. etc.! Believe me, that is exciting for a European! I’m not sure I’ve ever had home-made waffles so sitting writing this at breakfast time I could really just pop on over there and gobble yours all up, Jocelyn! 🙂
Oh wow, this post really really makes me miss those breakfast goodies, YUM! Eggo waffles… Pancakes – OMG! YUM 🙂 Ha Ha! However, I have a feeling YOUR waffles are FAR TASTIER than the frozen ones! lol
Let’s hope mine are better haha.
