Happy weekends begin with a comforting breakfast like these Buttermilk Brown Sugar Waffles.

Weekends are for waffles!  Do you agree? I have always loved making special breakfasts on the weekend for my family like buttermilk pancakes and waffles. I love my waffle irons so much. I can’t imagine living without one! The simple way to go is to just buy waffle mix at the store, add water and make some waffles. But I think you will find that homemade waffles like these Buttermilk Brown Sugar Waffles are so much more delicious, and they’re easy to make too.

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter and eggs. In another bowl, stir the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and whisk just until smooth.
  2. Preheat your waffle iron; butter the iron lightly or spray with nonstick spray (even if it’s a nonstick waffle iron). Ladle the batter onto iron. Close the lid, and cook until light golden brown. Serve immediately.

What’s the best kind of waffle iron?

I love waffles so much that I have two waffles irons!  I actually like them both a lot. When I’m making breakfast for a crowd, I turn to my Cuisinart Waffle Iron, which can make two Belgian waffles at a time. This waffle iron is a powerhouse, and you can make a lot of waffles in a short period of time.

When it’s just two or three of us enjoying breakfast, I like to use my Hamilton Beach 2-slice Belgian waffle maker. It’s the perfect size for a smaller crowd.

    All the ads distracted and cluttered up everything so badly, I lost interest immediately.
    Not worth getting frustrated over. Making a note to delete recipegirl. Know its the way you make money, but not worth the frustration
