Here is the recipe so you can soak in the season and brunch with the best of them!
Recipe
Ingredients and Equipment
- all-purpose flour 2 cups
- Baking Powder 2tsp
- butter milk 1/2 cup
- whole milk 1 cup
- unsalted butter 4tbs (melted, but not hot)
- eggs 2 ( separate the whites and yolks. Make sure they are room temperature)
- vanilla extract 1/2 tsp
- salt 1 tsp
- sugar 1/3 cup
- cinnamon 1/2 tsp
- ginger 1/8tsp
- cloves1/8 tsp
- allspice1/8 tsp
- nutmeg 1/8 tsp
- waffle maker

Making the Waffles
Step 1: Make the Batter
- Plug in your waffle iron and let it heat while you prepare the batter.
- Whisk together 2 cups of flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 1tsp of salt in a large mixing bowl. Once evenly mixed, use your hands and push the mixture to the outer edges of the bowl, leaving a circular gap in the middle to pour your wet ingredients.
- Pour 1 cup of whole milk, 1/2 cup of butter milk, 4 tbs of melted butter, and two egg yolks into the center of your dry ingredient mixture. Using a hand whisk, whisk together ingredients until they are evenly mixed.
Step 2: Make the Meringue
- In a separate large, clean, mixing bowl, using an upright or hand mixer, whisk two room temperature egg whites until frothy (you should see bubbles and the mixture should just begin to turn white).
- Once frothy, gradually mix in 1/3 cup of sugar. Whisk on high until you create a meringue with soft peeks. This means that the egg whites should be the consistency of shaving cream!
- Make sure your bowl is big, your eggwhites are room temp, and all or your utensils are clean as can be or your meringue will not set up!
Step 3: Combine and Cook
- Add the meringue to the batter, and gently fold until you do not see any white in the mixture.
- Then add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 tsp of ginger, 1/8 tbs of cloves, 1/8 tsp of all spice, and 1/8 tsp of nutmeg.
- fold until spices are evenly distributed.
- Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray and pour your batter in! Follow the cooking instructions for your specific waffle iron! and there you go!
Thank You!
And there you go! Wonderful, seasonal waffles to share (or not lol that’s on you!) Happy fall, and don’t forget to make Everydaylicious!
