Back in the Kitchen: Lovely Buttermilk Waffles


After almost a week of not being in the kitchen, it's so good to be back!

Today I made Buttermilk Waffles, but these are unique--they use buttermilk powder!  Ironically, we ordered food stuffs from Bulk Foods and the order came yesterday, including buttermilk powder.  I was so excited when I read the recipe this morning and saw it used buttermilk powder!

The waffles came out wonderfully!  I've included the recipe.  Don't skip putting the waffles in the oven to crispen before you eat them.  They are a classic, timeless waffle made from scratch!

For some classic jazz, here's Louis Armstrong and May Alix on "Big Butter and Egg Man" from 1926!


BUTTERMILK WAFFLES
Adapted from a recipe from America's Test Kitchen

Dry:
2 cups flour
1/2 buttermilk powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups lemon & lime soda or club soda

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Put a cookie rack on a lipped baking sheet in the oven.

Whisk all dry ingredients together in a small bowl.

In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs, oil, and vanilla until combined.  Mix in the club soda.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and gently stir the wet ingredients.  Don't over mix; batter should be lumpy and still have streaks of flour.

Heat waffle iron and  make the waffles according to the waffle iron directions.

When waffles are done, put in the oven for up to 10 minutes for a crispy crust.  Serve with syrup and fruit.
