Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs I use pasture raised
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons pure cane sugar
  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil such as expeller pressed safflower
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (I use organic)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 2 cups PLUS 2 tablespoons flour I used gluten free Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 3 tablespoons raisins (or currants) raisins; chop with oiled sharp knife

Instructions

Make the Waffle Batter:

  • ADD first 6 ingredients to a large bowl - eggs through vanilla. Blend well with a wire whisk until smooth.
  • Add the last 7 ingredients - flour through raisins to the bowl (if using raisins, cut into smaller pieces with an oiled knife.)
  • Blend with the wire whisk until a nice batter is formed. Does not to be all that smooth; no large lumps. Let stand while you heat up the waffle iron.

Make the Waffles:

  • If you like MORE raisins - add a few cut raisins to the waffle iron BEFORE the batter - the raisins will appear on top of the waffles... that's a nice look!
  • Make sure your waffle iron is clean. Brush liberally with oil - close and let heat up. Add a 4 ounce portion of the batter to the iron (I use a 4 ounce laddle.) Close and let the batter cook. Do not peak too soon, only when you can see they are golden. Cook until a nice browned color is achieved and the waffles seem cooked through. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Continue with the next 3 waffles, oiling the iron before each addition.
  • Serve the waffles with PURE maple syrup and enjoy.

Tips:

  • These waffles freeze well! Just wrap them tightly in waxed paper and seal in a plastic ziplock type bag or container.
    Waffles can get soggy when they stand for long. Broil them 6" from the heat source on a foil lined tray until just crisped.
