Preheat waffle maker as manufacturer directs

Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, stir together the buttermilk, oil, eggs and optional vanilla.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until just mixed and moistened. Try not to over-mix.

Prepare according to waffle maker's directions and your done.

"Salad Oil" is an old school way of saying vegetable oil. Canola oil works well in this recipe.






If making sweet waffles, add a Tablespoon of sugar to the dry ingredients. Omit if making savory waffles.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank BreakfastMaster for this recipe.

Worked great. Thanks. We topped them with warm maple syrup that we simmered with a vanilla bean stick and served them with crispy, delicious, wonderful, amazing bacon!!

I've made this recipe several times They are crispy on the outside and light, as I do not like hard, heavy waffles. I do sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the batter just before closing the lid. Have not found another recipe to beat it.

I have made this recipe several times and get raves every time. They are light and crisp - melt in your mouth. The only thing I add to the batter is pecans.

This recipe is fantastic. I have tried several waffle recipes and this one is top of the line. The taste is excellent and will make again. I used olive oil for salad oil. Thanks again.

Salad oil? Does that mean vegetable oil? Sounds like it could mean olive oil but that seems a little weird for a waffle? And as I'm writing this, I see one of the comments where somebody used canola oil. So uh... never mind. Question answered. Thanks!

This must be an old recipe... who says salad oil anymore... I used canola oil. Good results. Good texture. Next time, add some vanilla or almond extract.

These are SO good!!! Remember to put your waffle maker on a low setting or it will burn. I also added about a half cup of flour because it seemed a bit thin.

After reading several reviews about the batter being thin, I decided to use only 1 cup of buttermilk and I added 1 cup of frozen blueberries. Came out pretty good.
