What is Buttermilk?

Buttermilk is a fermented dairy drink that adds a tangy flavor and helps create a tender texture in baked goods. In this recipe, it gives the waffles a subtle sourness that balances perfectly with the sweet toppings. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour: The base of our waffle batter, providing structure and texture.
• White sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the waffles themselves.
• Baking powder: Helps the waffles rise and become light and fluffy.
• Buttermilk: Gives the waffles a tender texture and slight tang.
• Butter: Adds richness and helps create a crispy exterior.
• Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the waffles.
• Greek yogurt: Creates a creamy topping that’s healthier than traditional whipped cream.
• Honey or maple syrup: Sweetens the yogurt topping and adds extra flavor.
• Fresh peaches: The star topping, providing juicy sweetness and a pop of color.

Substitutions and Additions

Recipe Tips

• Warm your maple syrup before serving for an extra touch of luxury
• For a time-saving tip, mix the dry ingredients the night before

Storage & Reheating

To store, cool the waffles completely and place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat, pop them in the toaster or toaster oven for a quick crisp-up. For oven reheating, warm at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as this can make the waffles soggy.

Store the yogurt topping separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The peach topping is best prepared fresh.

Recipe FAQ

Can I make the batter ahead of time? You can mix the dry ingredients ahead of time, but it’s best to add the wet ingredients just before cooking for the fluffiest waffles.

What if I don’t have a waffle iron or silicone mold? You can adapt this recipe to make pancakes instead. Just cook the batter in a skillet over medium heat.

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh? Yes, drained canned peaches can work, especially when fresh aren’t in season. However, fresh peaches will provide the best flavor and texture.

How can I make these waffles dairy-free? Use a plant-based milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice as a buttermilk substitute, vegan butter, and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

Can I add spices to the waffle batter? Absolutely! A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg would complement the peaches beautifully.
