Notes

1. White whole wheat flour or ¾ cup all purpose + ¾ cup whole wheat flours may be used
2. If using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the batter
3. We add the melted butter last so that the buttermilk doesn't chill it and make it re-solidify. This also helps protect the eggs from cooking upon contact with hot/warm melted butter.
Storage
  • Fridge - waffles may be cooked ahead, cooled, and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days 
  • Freeze - cook, let cool completely, then store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat - pop waffles into a toaster and toast until crispy and warmed through!
