But what if I told you… you could make that same fluffy, buttery, golden brown magic right at home? Yep!

Whether it’s breakfast, brunch, or “brinner,” this recipe finna make your kitchen smell like heaven and have everybody asking for seconds. I doubled this batch because one ain’t never enough in my house.

🧇 What Makes These Waffles So Good?

  • Fluffy inside, crispy outside — just like the diner style

  • Made with buttermilk and melted butter for that rich flavor

  • Can be frozen and reheated without losing texture

  • Simple ingredients you already got in your kitchen

  • Perfect for sweet OR savory – serve with syrup, fruit, or fried chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 4 tbsp sugar

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 3 ½ cups buttermilk (or 3 ½ cups milk + 2 tbsp vinegar)

  • 1 cup melted butter (or oil)

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (adds crunch)

  • 2 tbsp dry malted milk powder (for that classic diner flavor)

Optional (but don’t skip if you want that wow):

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.

  2. In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, malted milk powder, cornstarch, and baking soda.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.

  4. Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined – don’t overmix.

  5. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes (this makes it even fluffier).

  6. Grease your waffle iron and pour in ½ to ¾ cup of batter per waffle.

  7. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4–6 minutes.

  8. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

🧊 Can I Freeze These Waffles?

Absolutely! After they cool, stack ‘em with parchment paper in between, pop ‘em in a freezer bag, and reheat in the oven, toaster or air fryer. Breakfast on deck anytime.

🔥 How to Reheat Waffles Like a Pro:

  • Toaster: Perfect crisp.

  • Air Fryer: 350°F for 3–5 mins.

  • Oven: 350°F for 7–9 mins.

  • Microwave: Only if desperate. 😅

🥄 Sheri’s Tips:

  • Wanna go sweet? Add chocolate chips or blueberries.

  • More of a savory vibe? Top it with fried chicken, bacon, or hot honey.

  • Add cinnamon and a lil nutmeg if you want them cozy fall flavors.
