I was skeptical about the brandy, but it adds the most subtle, warming depth that completely elevates these above any waffle Iโve ever made. Combined with the cinnamon and fresh nutmeg, the flavor is just extraordinary. The waffles turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This is officially my forever Sunday waffle recipe!

These are not your Grandmaโs buttermilk waffles!
Well, I actually think my Nana would like these waffles a lot! They have just a hint of cinnamon and fresh ground nutmeg and a splash of brandy to start the morning off right! And they are ridiculously easy.
People claim that to get the lightest, fluffiest waffles you need to fold in egg whites beaten to stiff peaks and blah, blah, blah. No offense but I did none of that and these waffles were superb! No whipping, no beating. No unwanted early morning exercise.
You can totally make these before your morning coffee without a worry.
Why am I posting a Lazy Sunday Buttermilk Waffle recipe on a Saturday? I have not lost my calendar; itโs so that you can make them tomorrow! In the event that Easter crept up on you and you donโt have an elaborate brunch planned, Iโve got you covered! Everyone will be satisfied and no one will wonder where the overnight French toast was.
Iโm so considerate!
These waffles are fluffy but not so airy you wonder if you ate a Krispy Kreme donut instead of a waffle. The spices and brandy give it a hint of flavor that makes you want to reach for another piece!
Top those warm buttermilk waffles with some butter and maple syrup, and youโve got yourself a little piece of Heaven right there on your plate.
Mmmmm happiness.
The fact that batter comes together in 5 minutes makes these perfect for any day of the week! You can freeze the leftovers and toast them in the toaster for an easy weekday breakfast or snack!
Lazy Sunday Buttermilk Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ยฝ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ยฝ teaspoons baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon or more to taste
- 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg omit if you only have ground
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ยฝ -2 teaspoons brandy
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron. Mine is completely non-stick so I donโt need to spray it with Pam or brush it with oil, but if you do, then make sure you have that ready!
- Whisk together flour, salt, sugar, soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl and set aside.
- Stir together buttermilk, eggs, butter, vanilla, and brandy in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until no lumps remain. If your batter is too thick, you can loosen it with some buttermilk as needed. It will thicken as it sits, so feel free to add more as you go along. The batter should be thick enough to slowly pour off the spoon but not so thick that it clumps. Be careful when adding extra buttermilk because you donโt want it to be too runny!
- Pour approximately ยฝ cup of batter into each Belgium waffle square or follow the manufacture instructions for your particular waffle iron. Close the lid, wait 3-5 minutes depending on your iron and your desired level of doneness. {You can always peek after 2 minutes. My Dad did this and he is the waffle masterโฆso thereโs that}
- Serve immediately or you can keep them warm in a slow oven or warming drawer.
