Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup butter melted and cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cardamom together. Set aside.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk briskly for 1-2 minutes or beat with an electric mixer on high speed for about a minute.
    2 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir until nearly smooth. It's okay if a few lumps remain. If the batter is too thick, add more buttermilk, a splash at a time. Stir in candy sprinkles.
    1 cup candy sprinkles
  • Preheat the waffle maker. Add ¼ - ⅓ cup batter per waffle to hot waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.
    Repeat this step until batter is gone.

Notes

To make ahead: Cook waffles according to recipe instructions. Once waffles are cooled, place a sheet of wax paper between each waffle, place waffles in a tightly-sealed gallon freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat waffles in a toaster or oven.
