Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups plain kefir homemade or store-bought
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter cooled slightly, plus more for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt
Instructions
Create the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and kefir until well combined and smooth.
- Cover the bowl and let rest on the counter for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the kefir to work with the flour, creating tender waffles.
Complete the Batter
- After resting, add the eggs and melted butter to the mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Finally, add the baking soda and mix gently. The batter will bubble and foam up—this is normal and creates the fluffy texture!
Cook the Waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (100°C) to keep finished waffles warm.
- Lightly brush the waffle iron with butter.
- Pour approximately ¾-1 cup of batter into the center of the waffle iron (adjust amount based on your waffle iron size).
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer finished waffles to the preheated oven to keep warm while cooking remaining batter.
