Buttermilk Waffles

I have to declare - it's a total conincidence that I'm making buttermilk waffles, right after buttermilk pancakes (and there's the corn muffins in between that i've yet to blog about). 

What makes a good waffle? I don't really have the answer to it, and I reckon everyone has differing opinions. My favourite waffle hails from Gelare, even though their ice-cream is nothing to shout about. I would think a good waffle will taste good on its own, without the need of slapping thick slabs of butter and pouring heaps of maple syrup. I could eat Gelare's waffles on its own, it's that good.

Peanut butter, maple syrup, butter - Which one is your favourite topping?

Mixing the wet and dry ingredients together

Thick batter

This recipe gives a very thick batter, thicker than my past 2 tries with making waffles. It tasted better than the previous pandan waffle recipe as well. More fragrant and softer. I'm still looking for the Gelare's waffle recipe though.

Added chocolate chips on a whim to my last batch, and i utterly regret not adding earlier! It gave an awesome sweet taste to it!

Daddy: "Aiyo, supper again." Well, you know you want it.

Buttermilk Waffles (original recipe from here)

Makes about 9 square waffles

• 1 3/4 cup all-purpouse flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (i used 110g salted butter)
• 1 1/2 cup buttermilk

1. Preheat your waffle maker.
2. Melt butter using microwave oven.
3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, and buttermilk.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix with as few strokes as possible. Rest the batter for 30 minutes.
6. Add your dough to the waffle maker and cook until done. My waffle maker needed about 1/4 cup of dough to fill it properly and each batch took 12 minutes.
