Classic Waffles Recipe:

Crispy exterior texture with a light and fluffy interior. These homemade waffles are great in classic or Belgian, and are a family favorite.

When it comes to breakfast foods, we are big fans!!! We love cinnamon rolls, french toast casseroles, or classic french toast, egg muffins, and more. But there is something about a classic waffle that can’t go wrong. Top with fresh whipped cream, and homemade strawberry syrup, yum!!!

This classic waffle recipe offers a crispy exterior, and soft fluffy interior. Yum!

These classic waffles are everything good about breakfast, and are so Eazy Peazy to make, you will put them in your regular breakfast rotation. Everyone needs a good classic recipe for waffles in their arsenal, and these ones are perfect because they can be cooked in any waffle iron and will turn out, you just have to adjust the cooking time a little, and are made with ingredients you likely already have on hand.

Delicious fluffy interior and crispy exterior, these classic waffles are a family favorite for a reason.

I love a good waffle, but have found that many of the homemade versions call for buttermilk, and that is just not an ingredient I keep on hand all of the time. I have decided some powdered buttermilk is a pantry staple, but let’s be real, it just isn’t the same. Now, when I want to make these Buttermilk Biscuits, the powdered buttermilk works great, but in general I am not impressed.

So I knew I needed a classic easy waffle recipe that wouldn’t require me to make a special trip to the store first thing in the morning. We all know that doesn’t go well. I mean, I rarely am ready before 10 am because I am getting my kids out the door, so asking me to get a bra on so I can hit the store up before the kids are even out the door is just asking WAY too much.

And so I did some recipe testing to create a classic waffle recipe that would be no fail, and that my whole family would love, using things I already have. Success!

Delicious fluffy interior and crispy exterior, these classic waffles are a family favorite for a reason.

The exterior is nice and crispy, which means it soaks up the syrup without turning into a soggy, yucky mess. But the inside is that light fluffy airy, flavorful, deliciousness you want from a waffle. One of the things I wanted to perfect was a waffle that would work in a classic iron, AND a Belgian iron. I was having a difficult time getting the batter to get crispy on the outside and soft on the inside in all scenarios. I believe I finally got it right, and that is the recipe I am sharing today. It has been extensively tested in several waffle irons. I even borrowed irons from my neighbors so I could try it in different brands and thicknesses.

And you guys, I feel like I nailed it. I mean, not to pat myself on the back, but as someone who has never been a breakfast person, this was my personal mission to make a breakfast good enough that even I would want it.

Delicious fluffy interior and crispy exterior, these classic waffles are a family favorite for a reason. You won't be able to get enough of them.

Once you make these babies, be sure to top them with all the fresh berries, butter, whipped cream, and all the fun stuff that makes them feel like dessert. Syrup is great too. A classic just like this recipe. Here are a few of my favorite toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream or clotted cream.
  • Syrup: We love this homemade Hot Buttermilk Syrup, Strawberry Syrup, or this Butterscotch Coconut Syrup, it is dreamy!
