I don’t know about y’all, but after making breakfast every Monday through Friday, the menu can get bor-ring. Not only do I get tired of fixing the same thing, I need food that I can put on the table in a hurry with as little fuss as possible. TA-DA…waffle iron to the rescue! I finally found the best Buttermilk Waffle recipe and the great thing is, you can make a BIG batch, freeze them, then heat them up in the toaster. Hallelujah! This has made a big difference in our morning routine since we don’t have to have the same ol, same ol, everyday – now, it’s just waffles on demand.
Of course, I couldn’t just let this recipe go as it was, I had to give it a little southern twist. I had some sausage crumbles that were left over from another dish and they were just calling out for waffles & syrup! Simple and easy, just add your batter to the waffle maker then sprinkle on the cooked sausage. It’s the perfect match with warm syrup, add a little fruit on the side and you are ready to start your day.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 6 tablespoons butter - melted
- 2 eggs , slightly beaten
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients and stir in buttermilk, butter and eggs.
- Stir until thoroughly mixed - batter will be thick.
- Pour a scoop of batter into waffle maker - size of scoop will differ depending on size of waffle plate.
- If adding sausage - sprinkle ⅓ cup of crumbled cooked sausage on top of batter then continue with cooking instruction.
- Close lid and cook for 4 -5 minutes or until golden.
- Serve immediately with warm syrup.
Notes
A Couple of Things ~ if you have a thing against bacon, you can always substitute chopped bacon. When I put the waffles in my toaster, due to the size, I break them in half with the round edge at the top then reheat on the “toast” setting. Yum….

Wow Donya, These waffles look amazingly delicious with just the right amount of syrup. Thanks for sharing this nice simple recipe 🙂
You are welcome Jerry! Thanks for the comment and encouragement. Happy Wednesday.
Hi again Donya – I found it on Amazon for 29 bucks. And, I think I might have enough Amazon points to get that monster for free. Have to double check, but I just love the wiggly waffles. Thanks for the information.
Happy to have found your blog.
Cheers and boogie boogie.
Thank you. Love the adjustment dial. I will look at Target and on Amazon.
Here's the info on my waffle iron – Hamilton Beach with a MAX & MIN dial on top so that you can make your waffle soft or crispy. I bought it at Target for around $29.00 and am pleasantly surprised…I love it!
I absolutely love the shape of those waffles. Do you know the model make and all that good stuff? My iron is on the way out.
PS: I do the same with frozen/fridge waffles. Makes things yummy and quick.
Cheers and boogie boogie.
