Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup (125 mL) butter, melted

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; set aside.

  • Step 2

    In separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs and butter; stir into dry mixture until just combined. Let batter rest for 10 minutes before using.

  • Step 3

    Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Ladle 1/2 cup (125 mL) batter into waffle iron to cover about two-thirds of the grid surface. Close lid; cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until steam stops emerging from the waffle iron and waffles are golden brown and crisp.

  • Step 4

    Cool completely and freeze waffles on large baking sheet in single layer. Package in airtight container or in plastic zip-top bag with parchment paper in between waffles, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster or in 400°F (200°C) oven until toasted and heated through.
