Buttermilk Peach Waffles

Author: Chef Belinda

When we were growing up, waffles were always a treat in our house. It took the three of us kids to lift the heavy waffle iron—it seems they weighed a ton back then. My mother would let us make the batter and then look away as we loaded way too much batter onto the iron. My brothers and I thought the batter was supposed to ooze over the sides and spill onto the countertop!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 3 large eggs, beaten

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 2 cups buttermilk, plus more if needed

• 1 1⁄2 cups finely chopped peaches

Instructions

1. Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, butter, and milk; then add to dry mixture. Fold in the peaches and let batter rest for 10 minutes.

3. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle batter onto the iron. Close top and cook until the waffle is golden brown on both sides. Remove and serve immediately; or keep warm in a 250-degree oven.
