Deliciously fluffy and tenderly crisp homemade buttermilk waffles that everyone will love! The most perfect and flavorful waffles to whip up at home for breakfast or any occasion. And super easy to make!
I think I’ve mentioned on here a few times that I’m not that big of a breakfast person. I often joke that you’ll either find me making some elaborate breakfast spread (if the mood strikes) or simply grabbing a granola bar in the morning…there is no in between, ha! Maybe that’s the gemini in me idk. And oops, I forgot to mention, a good + quick cast-iron fried egg situation is also one of my faves. All in all, that is it. So, I guess I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting thing in the morning since before it even was a thing haha.
However, when I’m feeling in the mood, I love to go all out and chef it up in the kitchen, y’all. I’m talking cinnamon rolls, sausage gravy and biscuits, french toast bakes, and homemade waffles to name a few. No tea, no shade to my beloved Eggos but homemade waffles gets me every single time! I mean…swoon 😍
Buttermilk Waffles Ingredients
- all-purpose flour
- cornmeal (either coarse or fine)
- baking powder
- baking soda
- sugar
- kosher salt
- eggs
- buttermilk
- vanilla extract
- melted butter
I love how crisp yet tender these buttermilk waffles come out. The cornmeal adds a little oomph of flavor and contrast. And if you use coarse cornmeal, you’ll get the little bits of texture thrown in there too! However, if you are not a fan of coarse cornmeal (or you don’t want any grit to your waffles) then use fine cornmeal. These waffles are also fluffy and have that ample buttery flavor too.

I’m new to your blog, and I’m already in love. What a great idea to add some cornmeal to your waffle batter. I can’t wait to taste the amazing texture and hint of sweetness that will bring. Love your content.
Hi Renee, thank you so much for the kind words 🙂
Love love love these waffles! We made them for brunch today and they were exquisite. The subtle sweetness and crunch from the cornmeal was so delicious, just a hint of maple syrup was enough. This is my new favorite waffle recipe!

Haven’t made waffles often but these are by far the best I have ever made!!! Love the cornmeal crunch, and cooking them smelled just heavenly, don’t usually eat/like waffles but these are going to be a regular in my house.
