Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and thyme), chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Cooking spray or additional melted butter for greasing the waffle iron

Directions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, fresh herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; there may be a few small lumps.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
  6. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and keep them warm on a wire rack while you repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the savory herb waffles warm with sour cream, fresh herbs, and your favorite savory toppings. Enjoy!
