Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Heat your waffle iron and grease it lightly if needed.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Mix the Wet

In another bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4: Combine

Pour the wet into the dry and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—some lumps are fine!
